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.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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,
