I was updating drivers and I had to turn off my pc for a audio driver and then my pc would not turn on. The cpu light on my MSI B450m Mortar is on. I am considered because I built this system in January of 2019. And I don’t really have a idea of what is happening. Also I don’t have a graphics card

Check the Installation Guide for the motherboard if you have it.

If not, I found the following link:

(Note: Do verify that the linked motherboard manual is a correct match to your motherboard.)

Per Page 36: "CPU - indicates CPU is not detected or fail"

Troubleshooting suggestions are on Page 87.

Overall, check that all cable connections, card seatings, jumpers, etc. are all fully and firmly in place.
