[SOLVED] New Processor Will Not Post

I have the following hardware working fine but a simple CPU switch causes the system to not boot. What am I doing wrong?

Asrock X470 Taichi
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-Core 3.7 CPU
Team Group Team T-Force Xtreem 16GB DDR4 4133 (PC4-33000) Ram Memory
(2) XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy 8GB 256-Bit DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 in Crossfire
EVGA 850W Power Supply
(1) Samsung V-Nand SSD860 EVO 500GB Boot Drive
(2) WD 2TB 7200 RPM Blue Drives

These computer parts work great together and the only overclocking I do is to the Ram Memory. I wanted to upgrade to a better CPU so I bought a
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core/24 Thread Desktop CPU. As soon as I install the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Windows starts acting like it cannot boot. To the point where it starts asking me do I want to reset the system back to the original settings. I never tried that, but I do need some help trying to figure out why a simple CPU change causes Windows not to work. If I take the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X out of the system and replace the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X the computer boots and works like a charm. I did get the 3900X to work with these parts temporarily but the boot times were over 6 minutes and then later it would not boot to Windows, just watching a spinning ball spin for hours. Put in the 2700X CPU and the system works fine. What is going on.

Not sure why you would go from P3.60 back to P3.40, but that shouldn't matter.

Shut down your system.
Reinstall the Ryzen 7 2700X.
Update your BIOS to version P3.60
Shut down your system.
Reinstall the Ryzen 9 3900X.
Reboot your system.

If this does not resolve your issue, then I would suspect a faulty CPU.
