When I was upgrading my computer I accidently dropped some thermal pasting in the CPU slot so it stopped working I replaced the CPU with a new one and got a new motherboard. However the motherboard I got was different and when I plugged in everything the motherboard was the only thing running (the CPU and GPU have LEDs) is it because the RAM isn't compatible with the motherboard or is something else wrong

edit: the RAM isn't compatible but I have 32gb of RAM that is compatible arriving tomorrow

Specs:

Corsair RM750x
Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero
MSI GeForce 2080
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
