I upgraded my processor. It didnt go well.

I was so hyped. I researched. I double checked. I got exactly the correct parts. I did my updates; bios and the like. Swapped the chips. Yes, I did my thermal paste well. Turned it on. Lots of reboots...

Wont start.

Re-flashed bios. No change. Just a black screen with a cursor. No beeps. More rebooting and waiting at a blank screen.

Its been two days. Tried all the things.

Now it starts. It takes minutes of waiting at blank screen. USB is now messed up.

Its not going well.

Send help; white Rockstarts and XL pizza, please.

(Im not looking for troubleshooting. Im just complaining.)

It is upgrade day! Wish me luck!

I bit the bullet and am finallly moving from a Ryzen 5 2600 to the Ryzen 5 5500. This is newest generation of chip that my motherboard supports.
