So. I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800x3d and a new Kingston Fury, swapped out my old slower and smaller CPUs, updated the case, and installed a new M.2 slot. But after making all those changes, the PC still only shows the orange diagnostic light. I tried booting with my previous CPU and RAM, but nothing worked. Also, my motherboard is an Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus. Please help.

Hey there,
Did you update the bios before putting in the new CPU?
If not, this is likely the problem. You may have to do a bios flashback. Here's how for Asus motherboards:

Try these methods, and follow them exactly. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

Yeah, as an idiot I didn't update it and my phone doesn't have the flashback option either, and it doesn't start with the old CPU, which is an issue.

So I got it running on the old CPU with RAM, I'm going to attempt an update to the BIOS now and check what happens.
