What PSU are you using? I've never heard a PSU click audibly.

It sounds like it's stuck in a boot loop.

 

Check to make sure all the connectors on your motherboard (24 pin, 8 pin) are plugged in all the way.

 

Check your RAM. Make sure it's in the right slots for your motherboard. Pull it out and push it back in. If that doesn't help, try one stick at a time if you have multiple sticks.

 

If that doesn't help, pull your graphics card out and put it back in.

 

If that doesn't help, pull the CPU out and put it back in.

 

If that doesn't help, put your CPU, RAM, and graphics card onto your old motherboard on the new motherboard's box. Plug in your drives and the fans, and see if it works.

 

If it does, the motherboard might be bad. If it doesn't, you might have toasted one of your components.

I should clarify, put your old CPU into your old motherboard. If it boots, and you can flash the BIOS to use the new CPU, do this is if you need to to use the new CPU in it. Then see if it boots.

 

If you do all this and it boots with the old CPU, but not the new CPU, the new CPU might be bad.

 

If you're upgrading from Intel to AMD, don't do this. The CPU's aren't interchangeable like this, I'm assuming you're going from Ryzen to a newer generation of Ryzen.

try reseating the 24pin and 8 pin connectors on the motherboard, if that doesn't work try shorting the pins to see if the PSU starts fine

Stupid question...did you put all the hardware (CPU, RAM, graphics card, etc.) onto that B550 motherboard? It won't POST without all the parts.

 

Sorry if that seems like a dumb statement. I want to make sure you're doing everything.

 

I assume you did put everything onto the B550...so...did you let it try to boot for a few minutes?

 

Some AMD motherboards boot loop 3 or 4 times once they see new hardware. It's just the PC getting used to the hardware.

 

If that's not the issue, is the B550 your old motherboard? If it is, try putting your old CPU into it.

 

If you've tried everything I listed, I don't know what to tell you. Some part of the system isn't working properly, obviously. I would say the PSU went bad, but you tried two with the same results. It wouldn't be likely that two PSU's failed back to back. I would say the motherboard, but if your old one has the same results, I'm not confident you junked two motherboards back to back.

 

It could be the graphics card, but without another system, you can't tell. Your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics to let you pull out the graphics card and see if it boots - you could try this and see if the PC at least stops clicking and rebooting over and over again, but it might not help.

 

Sorry, I've exhausted my ability to troubleshoot.

I have never heard of a drive causing this kind of problem.

 

Then again...I'm not going to say that anything surprises me anymore when it comes to computers.
