Upgraded my AMD CPU and can’t get past the BIOS screen, help!

Asked By GamerNinja54 On

I recently upgraded my setup, swapping my Ryzen 5 3600 for a Ryzen 5 5600X on an ASUS Prime B550 Plus motherboard. Now, after the upgrade, my system is stuck on the screen that shows the ASUS logo with the option to press DEL or F2 to enter the BIOS. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated!

Did you flash your BIOS to the version that supports the 5000 series CPUs before making the swap? If not, you might want to swap your processor back, update the BIOS to the latest version, and then try swapping the 5600X again.

I checked the ASUS website, and it says the board is 5000 series ready. I might have only updated to the 3000 series BIOS version. I'll give it another shot, thanks!

All B550 boards should have had 5600X support right from the start. If it wasn't supported, you'd usually either get no display or it would power off. So you might be okay!

When you hit the DELETE key, does anything happen at all? Make sure your keyboard is plugged in properly; sometimes that can cause issues. Just a thought!

Yes, the keyboard is plugged in and lights up, but it just stays stuck on the ASUS screen when I press DELETE.
