Hey there, oh boy where do I start?
So I ordered a new CPU, figured it was time for an upgrade. I was upgrading from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a AMD Ryzen 7 5800x. I didn’t realize I needed a BIOS update, so I went right ahead and installed the new cpu, plugged everything in and the monitor had no signal. At this point the computer WAS still turning on. Read up on it a little, then realized my mistake. I took out the CMOS battery, waited some time and reinstalled that, nothing. Reinstalled the old cpu, nothing on the monitor. At this point I started getting frustrated. After one final attempt, it no longer powered up. The power button did nothing. I freaked out considering this has never happened to me before. So I did the PSU paperclip test, worked perfectly. My MB has lights when it’s plugged into the PSU and those were on so, and correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t think it’s the motherboard. I’m beginning to think it may be the actual power button but I’m not too sure. Any help would be very appreciated
Also let me know if there is any additional information needed. It’s a pre-built, but I know the parts.
