[SOLVED] Ryzen 7 5800X not working in current build

Current build:
Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming X-570 Plus Wifi
RAM: Corsair Vengrance DDR4, 3600MHz, 32GB
GPU: ASRock RX 5600XT

For Christmas I got a new Ryzen 7 5800X. When I plug in the new CPU, the computer turns on but not to BIOS, and the onboard LED is yellow, indicating a problem with RAM.

I have already tried running with the old CPU, moving the RAM sticks into other slots (but are in the correct slots), running with older RAM I still have, and buying the same type of RAM kit but in 3200MHz (As the 3600 MHz may not be compatible with the CPU?)

Any help would be appreciated! If I need to provide more information let me know.
 
Solution
Did you update the motherboard's UEFI?

You also may have to reset the settings by popping the battery out and waiting a few minutes, unless your motherboard has a jumper to reset the settings.
