PC Unstable after CPU and BIOS upgrade

   I don't see why you wouldn't update the BIOS, regardless of anything else.
I'm running R5-5600 on B550PG-ITX/ax with the latest L2.61, and so far, no issues.  Maybe you really do need a better power supply, but maybe you don't.  Just update the BIOS and if that fixes it, perfect!  If not, dig deeper.

To toot my own horn, I only have RX 6600, but with Seasonic Prime PX-500.  I cheap out of many things, but never on power supplies.

	I would open up a support ticket with ASRock about the issue: http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp They will know for sure what is happening, if it's a BIOS issue or you have a bad CPU.

	Hi, I have the following setup B550m ITX Ryzen 9 5900x BIOS 1.10 RAM Hyperx Predator 3200MHZ fractal design 450W PSU MSI Geforce RTX 2060 Windows 11 I recently upgraded from Ryzen 5 3600 to the Ryzen 9 5900x and upgraded the bios to 1.10. I am now experiencing system instability issues. Bluetooth is extremely buggy with it dropping frequently. Could the issue be bad RAM or CPU? It was fine before the upgrade. Should I upgrade to a newer BIOS version like 1.8 (which I can't go back from)? Thanks for the advice
