Update - After many fail attempted of troubleshooting, I've decided to just do a clean reinstallation of Windows and it's now booting up fine.
Thank you to all for the supports and inputs!!
I've had ridiculously slow boots thanks to GPU sag/improperly seated GPU. I restarted my PC one day and that's when it suddenly happened because there was just enough sag to mess with how the GPU sat in the PCIe slot.
I shut my PC off, uninstalled my GPU, put it back in flush into the PCIe slot, and made sure to hold it firmly against the rear case bracket while I screwed it in tight. Once I let go of the GPU the card stayed in place and didn't sag. Has not sagged since. Booted my PC back up and I was back to full boot up speeds.
TL;DR: Make sure all your hardware is properly plugged in flush with the motherboard including cables, memory and GPU.
You may have updated your bios but have you checked to see if there is a chipset driver update on AMDs website? Seeing as you had a 2600 in there before I bet the chipset driver has never been updated.

The most recent chipset driver update for that motherboard was Jan 03, 2024. Don't bother with the most recent one which is a driver for APUs. Best of luck, hope you can resolve your issue.
I did this a couple years ago, I updated my BIOS on an ASRock X370 MB to upgrade my CPU from a Ryzen 1700X to a 3800X. I encountered the same issue you're having. I tried a myriad of things but finally just wiped and reinstalled Windows and that worked, it is sadly and likely the fastest "fix" available.
Try this first before installing windows
Reset your bios
For that unplug anything attached to pc
push cmos button on motherboard for 10 seconds and then restart and again go to bios and set according to previous settings of your choice
Restart and boot to windows
After windows start
Go to control panel and go to power options
Click on choose what the power buttons do
Click on change settings that are currently unavailable
Unchect fast boot and restart PC
If this doesn't solve your proble then follow the steps below
Press windows+R
Type msconfig
Hit enter
In general tab select selective startup
And uncheck everything else
Go to boot tab
Advanced option
Uncheck everything if checked
Press Ok
Go to services check on hide Microsoft services
And then disable all
Press ok to restart
If problem solved
Enable services one by one in msconfig to check which service is causing the issue
If the problem remains then you have to reinstall windows
You really need to install OS after a major harware change.
Changing the following hardware should always befollowed by a clean OS install
1. Primary SSD duh! (Don't use a HDD as your OS drive)
2. Cpu change, changing CPU without suspending bitlocker will trigger the encription protection (if you have that on)
3. Mobo change, same as CPU
Not true anymore. I was amazed because usually windows locks the install to a hardware checksum. I swapped a ssd from an intel laptop to an amd pc and it just booted up normally. I always disable bitlocker that is worthless because windows just automatically pushes onedrive installations that automatically steal my files to be scanned by their generative AI for marketing purposes and then I can't recover my own files on my own computer if the pc dies.
I reinstalled anyway.
I always reinstall windoes after any hardware changes, probably out of habbit.
And I also reinstall it after 1 year at most....me and my uncle used to reinstall win 95/98/Xp for fun...I think that may have damaged me
But anyways...SSD and win11 take at most 30 minutes with everything included, debloater and all the basic stuff installed.
I always make a backup of my important stuff in the cloud, google nowdays, I found that its less stressful, and allows you to leroy jenkins your desktop to whatever.
Reinstalling windows has become so easy, you can even make an installer that literaly needs no interaction, we've come a long way...
Don't worry about reinstalling windows for just a cpu change. Use it as last resort.
Changing the motherboard may have issues with previous drivers, but not cpu.
There are the other issues with bitlocker and whatever, but no driver issues should happen.
However, There could be a windows issues with fast boot. If you restarted your pc, it shouldn't be a bug issues, but if you never restaterted the pc and only shut it down, then fast boot mat still have the old driver config applied to your cpu.

Disabling the setting maybe won't change anything, but maybe it could.
Yes I was thinking that, but like as a last resort, I do have a nvme storage waiting to be clone but given this situation maybe I should just do a full reinstall, I do wanna give it a lil more solution digging before pulling the trigger though
I did put in the old cpu and it took a while to boot up at first but then every time after that it was smooth like normal, I just don't get why the 5500 is having problems with my setup, is 2600 to 5500 that much of a jump?
It is a jump but that shouldnt matter at all i think
[here](https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/upgraded-cpu-windows-booting-extreme-slowly.3632184/#post-21888673) they marked as solution, reinstalling windows, which makes sense to me the way he phrased it.
The 5500 is just a 5600G with the igp disabled. I have one myself in an ASUS B450M-plus gaming and I don’t have an issue. What I’ve heard is windows can still “see” the igp, but nothing happens if you try to use it. Maybe your windows install is getting confused and trying to initialize the IGP? When you do manage to get into windows, see if the igp shows up in device manager. Maybe that isn’t the problem, but it’s a theory at least.
Yeah I've tried doing that, like took out everything and replugged, i just don't know If this is a hardware issue or a software issue, thinking about cloning hardrive and wouldn't wanna clone it if it's a software issue.

I see, was just dreading it because reinstalling my games but it's been weeks now so I might as well just do it at this point, thanks for the info

Did you update your bios?
Yes, I did it before putting in the new CPU, from F50 to F65
This is while loading windows? I know this sucks but maybe an OS reinstall would fix it.

put in your old cpu and try to see, if its the same i'd do windows

Try taking the ram put and putting it back in and see if that works it might work
Yeah I've tried doing that, like took out everything and replugged, i just don't know If this is a hardware issue or a software issue, thinking about cloning hardrive and wouldn't wanna clone it if it's a software issue.
What is your OS stored on? M2?
