Can't upgrade Asus A320M-K Mobo to 5600x

Hi! 

This one is stumping me. 

So, my friend wanted to upgrade his Ryzen 3200g to a 5600x, i checked compatibility, we bought it, all great. 

I upgraded the bios, cleared CMOS, all good. 

When i replaced the CPU, no POST. 

Took everything out, reseated everything, i believe that the I/O shield caused a little short, and put the old processor again. It booted. 

Put the new processor in, cleared CMOS again. No POST. Fans were blasting full speed. 

So my next step was to put old processor back in, and start trying to upgrade BIOS to latest version, if that changed anything, no POST, but fans were running normally at this point.

Tried plugging it in with DP, with HDMI, no image out, no POST.

 

I'm completely stuck. 

Any suggestions would be veeeeery appreciated.

3200g has integrated graphics whereas the 5600x does not. Do you have your display cables plugged into a GPU?

Also, when updating the bios you would want to do it with the 3200g installed.

[SOLVED] 

So, i realized that the fan cable, a stock AMD cooler, was kind of stuck below the fan. It must've been shorting something. 

Just in case, i took everything out, reseated everything, and the old CPU was working again. 

 

I downgraded my BIOS to a slightly older version, installed the new CPU, and voila, it worked.
