Hi, I have a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II AM4 ATX Motherboard with 2x8GB of ram, recently I got two new sticks of 8GB of ram, my old ram sticks run at 3200MHz GSkill ripjaws the new ones are the same brand 2x8GB but 3600MHz. After I install the new ones the PC won't POST the CPU indicator led lights up and then nothing, when I take them out it works fine again, did I get the wrong RAM for my board? or do I need to do something else?

ProcessorAMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor
Video CardAMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
Operating SystemWindows 11
RAM16 GB Gskill Ripjaws DDR4 3200Mhz

Complete system specs, in particular CPU.

And...reset CMOS with a battery pull after putting in the new RAM.
