The computer starts but the processor isn't working.
Hi, I'm having an issue with upgrading my PC. I've installed a new motherboard (Asus Prime B550?) and a Ryzen 5 5600X, but when I try to turn it on, the monitor doesn't power up. I'm not sure what might be wrong.
I've already attempted a few common fixes such as reinstalling RAM and the GPU. These steps are quick and often resolve minor problems. Also, consider resetting the CMOS on your board—just remember it will clear any custom UEFI/BIOS settings you may have adjusted. For more information on the CMOS reset process, refer to pages 1 through 3 of your motherboard manual.
