My setup functions normally but after upgrading from R5 2600 to R5 5600X (approved by MOBO), the machine freezes at the "American Megatrends" screen and the VGA indicator remains stuck. I've reversed the RAM a few times about three times, yet the 2600 still boots, whereas the 5600X consistently locks up. I've also tried removing the GPU, reseating the RAM, and using only one stick of memory. No clear solutions found.

System details:
- Gigabyte B450 Aorus M (latest BIOS)
- Ryzen 5 2600 GTX 970
- 16GB Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz
- 600W EVGA BR WD Black SN770
- Windows 11
