I’ve faced some issues with my PC recently. It started working one morning, but when I turned it on, there was no signal to the monitor and my peripherals didn’t power up, even though the PC itself was fine the night before. I’ve tried diagnosing it, swapping the GPU and my brother’s GPU, replacing the motherboard, using a different PSU, but nothing has changed. I’m unsure what’s causing the problem, so if anyone here has any suggestions, please share them.

This chip isn't compatible with the current chipset, no matter the BIOS version. If you've been using it for a while, consider switching to a more reliable motherboard. If the CPU fails to start or shows no POST, the issue likely lies with your motherboard or BIOS.

I acquired the PSU last year, so it's not too outdated. I plan to try the CPU on another motherboard and share the outcomes.

During the CPU swap process, I observed that my CPU wasn't fully seated due to bent pins, which appears to be the primary issue. Nonetheless, I still tried a different CPU on my motherboard.

I tested a Ryzen 5 3600, but it didn't boot at all. The previous problem with peripherals not turning on has been fixed with this new CPU. Which CPU would be a suitable replacement?
