I bought an amd ryzen 5600G to upgrade from a ryzen 3 3200g for better PCVR performance I installed the cpu with new thermal paste and i plug everything back in turn it on both fans turn on and spin but my gpu (1060 6GB) doesn’t turn on and my peripherals don’t work as well I reseated the cpu 3 times and I got the same results, I even checked for bent pins but there was no bent pins so then I put the old cpu back in and everything worked but my new one was the opposite, can someone tell me how to fix this?

This is from the motherboard processor upgrade information.
Processor | TDP | Integrated graphics |
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, 3.7 GHz Base frequency, up to 4.2 GHz burst frequency, 4 MB cache, Quad core (Picasso) | 65 W | Radeon Vega 11 Graphics |
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, 3.6 GHz Base frequency, up to 4.0 GHz burst frequency, 4 MB cache, Quad core (Picasso) | 65 W | Radeon Vega 8 Graphics |
AMD Athlon 300UGE, 3.6 GHz Base frequency, 4 MB cache, Dual core (Picasso) | 65 W | Radeon Vega 3 Graphics |
I do not see the amd ryzen 5600G in the compatible processor list and that could be the issue.
None of the available BIOS updates add the amd ryzen 5600G .
