I'm currently trying to upgrade the CPU from the default  AMD Ryzen 3 5300G to a  AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and I downloaded the BIOS update from HP website and attempted to install the Ryzen 5, however the computer won't boot up after the CPU has been installed.

 

So right now I don't know how to exactly download the correct BIOS or do something to the motherboard for it to accept the new CPU.

@luckyhorseshoe,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X on an Erica6 motherboard.

 

The best processor you can upgrade to would be an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, also verified -albeit indirectly, here.

 

Kind Regards,
