[SOLVED] Ryzen 1200 won't boot

[LegitKillz099]

So I had an old Gigabyte Ab350 Gaming 3 motherboard and I decided to upgrade my brothers g3258 to a Ryzen 3 1200. Whenever I try to turn on the PC nothing posts and the CPU LED is on. I even tried turning it on with no ram and it just sits on the CPU light and doesn't even change to ram. So I decided to see if maybe the CPU is doa. I took out my Ryzen 5 2400g and the PC booted fine. So I know it's not the motherboard. But here's where it gets tricky, When I went to test the 1200 in my B450 it showed lights other than CPU because I didn't install ram. Anybody have any ideas on what could be wrong?

What GPU and RAM are you using?

For my brother's build he's using Hyperx fury 2933 and an MSI r9 285

Have you checked for any bent pins on the Ryzen 3 1200?

I just successfully booted but I had to take 1 ram stick out so I believe I got a faulty stick from Amazon

Edit - So the issue was me trying to install my old 3200mhz module and the new 2933 module. I assumed it would automatically downclock to the lowest which was 2933 MHz. That wasn't the case. So since I couldn't boot into bios, I took out the 3200 MHz stick and manually set the ram to 2933 for both and it seems to be working now.
