Question PC turned on but system won't boot up

[RetroMasterEX]

I had reset Windows 11 on my hard drive to delete the apps installed from my previous motherboard. When I turned on my PC, it didn't boot up. I noticed the HDD LED light flashed for one second. How do I upgrade the BIOS with no boot up?

Here are the components inside my build desktop.

I just installed two new parts into my desktop; the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 and the ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0 motherboard. When I turned the PC on to test them out, it shuts off and turns back on repeatedly. I didn't have any problems when I had the Gigabyte A520M S2H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard installed in my desktop. Do I have to get a Ryzen 5 5000 or higher or upgrade my video card to start it up?

Did you update BIOS version ?

That CPU is compatible with that MB since BIOS version P5.0 and up

No. I have to download the BIOS on my previous motherboard because I can't install the BIOS on the current one that doesn't start up.

You will need to acquire an earlier Ryzen to do that. Even an R3 1200 would do. Important thing is to be able to enter BIOS to flash it, since that MB has no other way like some.

I still have the Ryzen 3 3600G. I have it installed but it still doesn't start up. It does the same thing, runs for 20 seconds then shuts off and starts up repeatedly.

That one should run with even first BIOS version. Is that MB new ? Have you tried 3600G without dedicated GPU but from MB as it has IGPU ? Improperly installed RAM can also pose same problem, try with one stick in various places. Between any changes, reset CMOS/BIOS.

My PC is running and it's not shutting off and starting up repeatedly anymore, but it's still not starting up, and I noticed a single flash for one second from the HDD LED when I turned it on.

Stick to one thread please

My PC is working now. One of my RAM sticks was in the wrong slot. Thanks for the advice.
