Hello good people,
I'm new here, this is my first post.
Today I built a system with an R5 5600x on a gigabyte B550 Gaming V2 board, using my existing storage with existing Win10 install, but I'm having problems. I'm not that much of a tech head, so I figured I'd ask here.
The problems:
When I power it on, it shows the bios splash screen, then the windows splash screen, but without the cycling dots, and then it freezes.
If I then hard power it off and try to boot again the same thing happens, but now with the text 'preparing automatic windows repair' also shown. Still no cycling dots.
If I try to boot from a bootable windows usb I made, it doesn't even make it past the bios splash screen.
If I powercycle and enter bios after it's spent a few moments being frozen, I can see the CPU temps slowly dropping in the main bios screen suggesting the CPU was at least getting instructions and working while the system was frozen.
Now, I've noticed that the bios version is from October 2020, and IIRC the 5600x launched in november 2020? Could this simply be an outdated bios with less-than-full support for my AMD part? Do my boot issues rhyme with that reasoning?
