Just installed a fresh CPU cooler and fans, but my PC suddenly stopped working. I assumed the problem was with the motherboard, so I upgraded to a new one and it showed a CPU light. I purchased a Ryzen 5600x CPU and still received the error message. My new motherboard supports Ryzen 5600x, but everything seems to be failing. Old motherboard: ASUS B450 Prime m K New motherboard: MSI B550 A Pro Old CPU: R5 3600 New CPU: R5 5600x

It could be bent pins, a broken motherboard, or faulty RAM. If you try removing the RAM one at a time, see which one works.

Even consider resetting the CMOS or taking out the CMOS battery

I experienced a comparable problem. The RAM was installed in the incorrect slots; please verify the motherboard manual to ensure proper placement. It might also relate to power consumption—perhaps the cable isn't connected correctly on the motherboard or PSU, especially if you have a modular PSU or a faulty PSU. Hope this assists!

You would use the remaining 3600 minutes.

It looks like the system only functions properly with a single RAM stick at a time. (I checked both separately) Putting both in seems to cause issues, and I could have saved a lot of time otherwise.

Make sure both RAM sticks are inserted correctly into the appropriate slots. The motherboard requires specific slots for dual-channel operation, and you can't always position them side by side.

It's not required. Your processor works with the 7C56vA4 BIOS update, and any model prior to that won't be compatible.
