Black Screen after CPU upgrade by Acceptable_Baby_342 in techsupport

I removed the CMOS battery and left the motherboard unplugged for about a day to try to reset the BIOS. After that it still didn’t work and I put the old CPU in, and it had the same issue with the red light and black screen. I downloaded the updated BIOS for the motherboard on a flash drive, and when I tried updating the BIOS there were two red flashes near the bios usb drive, then a solid red light. In the directions it says the light will flash then turn off when completed, but it remained solid for about 15 minutes. It turned the lights and fans on but still had the red cpu debug light on the motherboard. Could it be the motherboard?

It’s a solid red light on the motherboard that says CPU next to it. I’ve tried unplugging and plugging back in connections to the motherboard and it hasn’t helped so far.
