I'm having trouble getting my MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI motherboard to post with Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. It works fine with my Ryzen 5 2600 and is updated to the latest BIOS version, which is 7C95vHF1. However, when I install the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, it triggers the CPU debug LED and fails to post. I thought the 5700X3D might be faulty, so I also bought a Ryzen 7 5800X for testing, but it didn't post either and showed the same CPU debug LED. I'm looking for any help or advice on getting these CPUs to work with my motherboard.

You might want to clear the CMOS. Sometimes that can help with boot issues after upgrading to a new CPU.
You might need to update to an intermediate BIOS version first. Some motherboards require you to go through certain versions rather than jumping straight from one to another. Check the support website for your motherboard for specifics.
I was thinking that might be the case. I'll check to see if there's a specific version I need to update to.
Did you check if your motherboard still posts with the Ryzen 5 2600 after trying the new CPUs? Make sure that the BIOS is actually updated correctly; sometimes it can get stuck during the update.
Yeah, I tested the 2600 after it failed with the 5700X3D and it worked just fine. The BIOS is definitely the latest.
I haven't done that yet, but I'll give it a try before messing with any BIOS updates or downgrades.
