[SOLVED] New 5600x wont boot

[Guonade]

My 5600x just arrived and im replacing it with my old 3600x. I can get into BIOS and I see that a 5600x is detected so im assuming its seated correctly based on that. When I boot im stuck on a Preparing Automatic Repair screen. Please help?

I have two ssds, one with install of windows 10 and other files, and a second ssd with mostly games and other apps. The boot order is showing my existing ssd with the windows 10 previously installed.

I've also tried to enter a new boot windows 10 install USB, by itself, without the ssds attached, but i get stuck on a windows logo (different from preparing automatic repair).

Other specs:
Motherboard: MSI B550M Bazooka
RAM: 16gb ddr4 3600mhz
GPU: EVGA 3080 XC3
PSU: 850 watts

Are you on latest BIOS?

Are you on latest BIOS?

Not sure, how would I check?

I was under assumption that b550m was compatible with 5600x.

With the latest BIOS version, yes.

With the latest BIOS version, yes.

Do i have to boot it with my old working cpu (3600x) to update the bios, before replacing it again with the 5600x?

Shouldn't have too. The manual should explain how to go about the flash.

No, that board has BIOS flashback. You can just use that.
