If you put 2600 back in, update BIOS, please post an update on how it goes.
In the description f the BIOS version, it will say something like "Support new Ryzen 5000 CPU", that's what you want before puting 5700 back in motherboard, but I suggest going to last version of BIOS that you can flash so you can be done permanently from flashing anything since there's no more support for AM4 platform, maybe only the odd fix
Video of how to update MSI BIOS here
This is the plan. The thing is I can't fins ryzen 5000 support on the mobo page, only 3000
Uh oh, I looked at MSI page for your board, and there's no support for 5000. The parts for that motherboard must be too cheap to comply with AMD's hardware requirements for motherboard manufacturers. You can't use your 5700x3D without buying a better or newer motherboard. If you buy a B550 you could flash BIOS and use 5700. Either sell your 5700x3D or buy a better motherboard since there's no support for 5000
Ans yet, on the compatibility list, they say it is ok with latest bios, and some people said they were running it on a b350m pro. I will probably try the flash route tomorrow. This is weird. Also, this mobo was praised for the cpu power management as being overly overengineered...
Sure, put your 2600 back in and then flash it to the last one, but do a test boot with 2600 of the lasted bios to verify that the board is still good and boots to desktop on the latest version, and then put in your 5700x3D. If it boots, you got it, if it doesn't boot to desktop with the latest bios then you know it wlll never work
