Clear the cmos 

Try with one stick at a time and maybe try the cpu in a different board ( one that you are sure was flashed with the new bios )

Did you update the bios to the 3rd gen version?

 I don't have a board yet trying to get my hands on a b550 but stock is hard to come by

Ask a computer store / a vendor if they can update the bios for you.
