Ordered another CPU and planted my sweet potato slips.

No change. Crashes on loading, even in compatibility mode. Should I just buy a new CPU?
Updated the BIOS just because. Didn’t fix it but got it to at least freeze instead of crash. PROGRESS!
Thank you 🙏. I’ve tried everything I know to do. Compatibility mode should have fixed it if it was a software / driver issue.
All I can come up with is the CPU is bad. Not impossible but that generally doesn’t happen
I plugged in a live USB. It loads the grub but if I try to load the live version or comparability version it stops during loading and reboots to BIOS
Ryzen 5 3600 - USED
Asrock B550M Pro4 - NEW
GTX 1660 Super- USED
Thermalright cooler - NEW
Thermalright GX2 600w - NEW
ddr4 3200 mhz ram -NEW
Micron SSD - moved from last computer
I have reseated the CPU, reseated and replaced GPU, checked each stick of RAM and a memory check, reset BIOS to default, and tried to do a clean install with a live USB. No luck.
It posts to BIOS no issues. I can usually get it to the grub but as I try to boot the OS it just stops and reboots to BIOS. I either just get the Linux splash screen for a minute or if I boot it in recovery mode it runs script for a bit and boot loops.
It doesn’t give me any errors but finally got it to give me this below. A boot loop is almost always RAM but I am wondering if the CPU is bad
I think it might be a bad CPU. How would I check? I reseated it but no change
Used the paste that came with the cooler
I thought that too. Pulled one at a time and tried booting with each one. No luck. Memory check showed no errors
UEFI already enabled. I switched out the GPU and no charge
Thank you. 🙏
It’s pretty frustrating
Anyone know anything about built computers? I just built this one but cannot get it to boot. I can boot into bios but if I try to load the drive it crashes after the grub. Occasionally it will show the Linux mint icon as it tries to load and then crashes. Put in a live USB and same thing
So cleaaaannnnnnn
It recognizes mint on the drive but won’t boot into it. Going to play in bios but might have to do a clean install which will piss me off but not the end of the world
I think I figured it out. What I’m struggling with is getting my hands in between the case and GPU to put these little wires in. I got the small case and the motherboard goes all the way to the bottom
PS I might actually be able to reach stuff if I take the GPU out
POS is this really all the instructions it’s going to gonna give me for these little plugs?
I think these wires would be easier to figure out if I wasn’t 3 beers deep
Have all the stuff in, just trying to figure out where all these $&@& wires go 🤣
