Help! My computer will not start.

[Littlejay85]

So I about 7 or 8 months ago, re-built my computer using a msi gaming edge Wi-Fi b550 motherboard with a Ryzen 3 3100. This was to wait out the long wait to get a new Ryzen 5 5600x. So that wait came to an end or so I thought, and tried to install it, the computer would not boot. I at first thought my motherboard needed bios update and reinstalled the Ryzen 3 3100. Updated the motherboard, then reinstalled the Ryzen 5 5600x and same issue. The computer itself appears like it turns on, my keyboard and mouse light up. But my computer will not actually boot.

 

is there something wrong with the cpu? Help?

Ask tech87 said up there, proper boot device selected? do you have any other drives/flash drives with bootable media or a os installed?

Thank you for your help, I guess something must have been loose, as it will now turn on with the Ryzen 5 5600x took 3 times switching back and forth to the Ryzen 3 3100 (I almost killed the Ryzen 5 5600x by dropping it, guess I should get some sleep). I now hear 3 loud beeps when I turn it on. Read that could be a memory issue, I will work on that tomorrow, as i need some sleep (being a healthcare worker sometimes take the energy out of you). Only the CPU and fans in the case have changed and I updated the BIOS.
