So I decided to upgrade my CPU from the Ryzen 5 2600 to the Ryzen 7 5800x3d. My motherboard came with BIOS P1.90 and I updated it to p5.60 via Instant Flash. I downloaded the update from ASRock, as they manufactured the mobo. It shows it's been updated successfully and I have no issues continuing to run my R5 2600. I finally swapped it with the 5800x3d and my pc gets stuck in a boot loop. I turn it on and the CPU and DRAM lights come on and nothing happens for about 20 seconds. It then shuts off completely then comes back on about 3 seconds later to repeat the process. The monitor doesn't show anything during this. Alternately, with the 2600 installed the same two lights come on but then move on to the VGA and BOOT lights until they shut off after a few seconds and the pc then continues to boot. I've been researching and trying different options for the better part of 6 hours all to no avail. I have also tried the "Steps to Update the Supported BIOS For Renoir/Cezanne/Vermeer" pdf from ASRock as well but for some reason i was told "30 - file could not be opened" when trying to update that way. (I tried this because of some other info I came across while researching. This link will send you to a thread in ASRock forums) I am at a loss as I even returned the first 5800x3d I ordered because of the same problem thinking it was possibly a faulty CPU, but the chances of getting two faulty 5800x3d's are virtually zero.
