[SOLVED] Upgraded CPU/mobo/RAM and now I get a boot loop

I just recently upgraded my AMD fx 6300 to a Ryzen 7 3800x. Doing so I had to also upgrade my motherboard and RAM. My new motherboard is an ASRock x470 Taichi and my new RAM is 32gb of Gskill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200(I also have a GTX 1050 TI) I put the whole system together and went to start it and all the fans spin up and lights come on then after about 30 seconds everything turns off and the system try’s again. Effectively “boot looping”.

Not even the Dr. debug screen is lighting up. I have tried everything to get the system up and running, I’ve tried using one memory stick. Running the system out of the case and with nothing but the cpu and one ram stick installed and the same result. I have also cleared CMOS multiple times and still no prevail.

Does anyone know of any tips or anything that I can try to get my system up and running. I need to get it running ASAP because I do freelance video editing and I have projects due very soon.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.
 
Asrock puts small stickers on the bioschip which say with what bios the motherboard is send. Look at it and tell (or search yourself) so it can be checked if it is a too early of a bios.
I looked at the bios version and compared it with the Asrock website and it is too early of a bios. I do not have a second am4 chip to flash it and I don’t have time to get an amd boot kit. I think I’m just going to return this board and buy an x570 board to eliminate this problem.
