I have this motherboard on the title, i had ryzen 5 3400G, and 16gb of 2x8gb of Crucial Ballistix Sport LT

BLS2K8G4D32AESCK​

of RAM, work wonders with XMP but now i have ryzen 5 3600 with same motherboard, same RAM, new GPU rx 6600 xt and when XMP is on, if i want to force it to boot, i have to remove the CMOS battery and remove the PSU cable and wait aprox 1 minute, then it boots to stock 2400mhz of speed, motherboard bios is still on F2.. maybe i have to update it? or the RAM isnt compatible? because i already did research on GIGABYTE's website on RAM support list of Mattisse and using the module number of the RAM, it doesnt appear on the list, or the other support list of other CPU's and still doesnt appear on any list, help???

make sure ram is in slots 2 and 4

2 being 2 slots from cpu.

make sure when upgrading processors to set the bios to default first.

update the bios for better compatibility.

also replace your cmos battery ( coin battery) with a new 2032 battery as some boards wont boot without this battery and low battery can cause boot issues.
