Question Pc stuck rebooting after new cpu

Pc rebooting even in bios

It’s been a long day. I bought an upgrade from Ryzen 5 1600 to Ryzen 5 5600. I did the bios update to f63c. I place in the new cpu. I started getting blue screens when I got to the desktop.

I thought I’d reset the CMOS and load default settings in bios. Still didn’t work. I tried resetting ram/re plugging everything in and out. I tried old cpu and now I’m stuck in a boot loop where it goes to bios (sometimes) then just restarts. Sometimes I can get to the bios but it’ll restart after max 15 seconds

Specs:
Gtx 1070
Ryzen5 5600 / 5 1600
Gigabyte b40 d3
Corsair 2x 16gb
Any help would be great. As I’m losing hope
