The board might need a BIOS update for supporting that CPU. Check https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-100 for what to do next.

I am using a first gen ryzen CPU (Ryzen 3 1300x) the website states that it is fully compatible with the first and second generation.

Thank you. Do you know how I would be able to do this? Since I am not able to boot to the bios would I have to get an older processor?

Check the amd link I posted above. A local pc shop might also help, if not too expensive. You'd need a supported CPU.
