AMD PC won't turn on after upgrading

Hello,

 

I tried to upgrade my AMD CPU but it wont boot up.

Fans turn on, LEDs are on, GPU light is blue, no power to the USBs

 

Motherboard:            ASRock A320M-HDV (mATX)

CPU Installed:          AMD Ryzen 3 2300X

CPU Upgrade:         AMD Ryzen 5 3600

RAM Installed:         Crucial 8GB DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - CT8G4DFS8266

GPU Installed:         XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 1386MHz OC+, 8GB GDDR5, VR Ready, Dual BIOS, 3xDP HDMI DVI, AMD Graphics Card (RX-580P8DFD6)

 

I think it might be BIOS update but USBs aren't working and on top of that I damaged the pins of my old CPU, they are bend.

 

What should I do now?

Please help and Thank You.

 

PS: Attached is the old CPU that is damaged

A320 boards don't support Zen 2. Get a new board - B450/B550 preferably as A320 boards are utter garbage.

Any recommendations; cheap and reliable?

Also what about the old CPU is there a way to fix it?

an ASRock B450 Pro4 - ask the shop to update the BIOS for you in case you get an older unit that came out 3 years ago.

As for the CPU - bend the pins carefully and sell it with the board as a combo.

You can search up a vid about straightening the pins but thats kind off a gamble. pushing the pin too far once or twice will weaken the pin enough to fall off.
