Hey! It seems like you're facing a tricky issue. After replacing the CPU and clearing the CMOS, everything worked fine at first. But when you tried to boot, there was no POST. You mentioned checking the I/O shield and putting the old processor back in. It booted again, but then failed again when you reinstalled the new CPU. The fans were running fast, yet nothing was showing up on screen. When you tried different connections—DP, HDMI, etc.—you still didn’t get a display or POST. This is puzzling. Could you share more details about the BIOS version you're using and any error messages you see? That might help figure it out.

The 3200g includes built-in graphics, while the 5600x lacks this feature. Have you connected your display cables to a GPU? Additionally, it’s best to update the BIOS using the 3200g during installation.

I noticed the fan cable and the stock AMD cooler were positioned low, possibly causing a short circuit. To check, I removed everything, repositioned it, and the old CPU functioned properly again. I updated the BIOS to an older version, added the new CPU, and everything worked smoothly.
