If you're positive the mobo has the proper bios to support that Ryzen 5 3600, you may have a bad component. Will it post if you run with onboard graphics? Do you have other DDR4 you can try?

Yes I check the motherboard website and made sure to get the proper bios for it. I don't believe this CPU has onboard graphics. And no I don't have any other ddr4

Gotcha. Wasn't aware the new Ryzen chips didn't have onboard graphics. Make sure all the connections to your motherboard are correct. Make sure you haven't reversed the positive and negative connections for your front I/O.  Are the components getting power? Double check all connections. Rebuild the computer if you have to.

Did you update the BIOS through windows (the wrong way) or through ASRock's BIOS utility?

Are you sure the proper BIOS image was flashed? Or that the BIOS update went through?

Yeah, if you're sure everything is connected properly and the BIOS update was done correctly, it has to be a bad component. Dumb point, but be sure that your monitor is connected properly and is turned on.

The only component that I can think that is bad is the motherboard as I got a new ryzen 5 this morning just to make sure it's not the CPU.

Do you have a friend or family member who may have the ability to help you test the components piece by piece? Maybe a friend will let you load your GPU or RAM into his or her system to test that they work? I think the only way to determine it's your motherboard is to eliminate everything else. Start with the easy stuff like the RAM and GPU and then test the CPU. If all of those components work, it may just be the motherboard.

Put your parts in your brother's computer. Does his system boot with your Ram? What about with your GPU? If so, both components are fine. This will help you narrow it down.

Are you sure you have a 3600 and not a 3600X? The 3600 is a 65w CPU and the 3600X is a 95w CPU. Your might not have a strong enough PSU to boot a 95w CPU where as your previous CPU that works might be only a 65w. Also online PSU wattage calculators are only estimates - and so are most PSU ratings printed on the sides of PSU's. One brands rated 500w may not be equal to another brands....If you have access to your brothers PC see if you can try his PSU in your PC and try to boot with it.
