Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

1000w powersupply
Make and model of the PSU? How old is the PSU in question?

MSI MPG A1000G 1 month old bought it with the 3080ti since my 750w was too weak

An upgrade from a 5600 to a 5900 should be pretty simple.
You might have a bad CPU (rare, but it does happen) or memory timings might need to be different with the 5900x

I'd try loading optimized defaults with the 5600 and then trying with the again with the 5900.
This will reset memory to JEDEC, so you'll need to adjust afterwards.

If that doesn't work, try clearing CMOS with the 5900 installed (MB jumper - see manual)

with the 5900x it ask me if I wanted to reset ftpm I press yes and bam pc restarted and won’t show up anymore the Light on the mobo goes to dram;cpu;vga and instead to go to boot it keeps restarting to dram and does the same loop again n again

I'm afraid I don't know much about upgrading with Win 11 and fTPM, assuming that is the issue.
Restoring BIOS defaults is generally a good way to get you past issues with a new CPU (memory, OC...) and that seems to have worked.

I don't think ftpm causes any CPU upgrade issues unless bitlocker drive encryption is in use, but I might be wrong.

Yeah i don’t know what to do I will order another 5900x to see if the one I have is dead or something

I now can get into bios with the 5900x but when trying to launch windows it keeps redoing the loop

If you haven’t reset the bios to defaults start there. I looked up your board, I’m actually running a 5900x on an old b350 board, your board looks more stout than mine. You may also go to a single stick of ram and see how it acts.
