Loop for Windows auto repair process
Loop for Windows auto repair process
You're dealing with a setup issue where your BIOS accepts the new CPU but doesn't enter safe mode. It seems the system is stuck in an auto-repair loop after booting. The CHKDSK scan didn’t help, which suggests possible file system errors or corruption. Since you're not comfortable reinstalling Windows yet, try checking the BIOS settings for any recent changes or updates that might affect boot behavior. If the problem persists, consider using a live USB to test connectivity and gather more details about the issue.
Did you refresh your bios before adding that 5500? It looks like the 5500 needs the quote "Latest Beta BIOS" (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-GR...upport#cpu). Likely it should be something like "7A39vAK4(Beta version)" or "7A39vAK2(Beta version)" (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-GR...pport#bios).
