New cpu not working
So i was using a Ryzen 5 1600 until now when i upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5600 and now the pc wont boot. The CPU red light comes on while the pc turns on then it goes to DRAM unless i press any power buttons. I can’t use my old cpu because when i pulled it out the pins had been bent even though its worked for 2 years. I’ve gone down to 1 stick of ram and tried slots 1&2 with no luck and the same results. I’ve looked at some post where it said it usually is a broken mobo, processor, or ram but they’ve worked right until i installed the new cpu. I really don’t know what to do atp.
Specs:
Aorus B450 pro wifi
AMD Ryzen 7 5600
Corasair Vengence DDR4 32gb
GPU: GEFORCE 1660 Super

It doesn't appear that B450 Aorus supports Q-Flash (BIOS flash without CPU)
Did you upgrade BIOS to version F60 or higher before swapping the CPU?

Did you get any thermal paste in the socket or on the CPU pins?
