Specs now
Ryzen 7 5800x
Asus x570 wifi
G.skill ripjaws v 2x8 DDR4 3200 
Did have a ryzen 5 2600 and used it to flash update my mobo to the latest version to be compatible w 5000 series.
Then I installed my new cpu and pc turns on but no display with orange light on DRAM.
Have tried reseating the sticks and even putting them in one at a time.
Then put in old cpu to try a different bios update to see if maybe the latest one was bugged.

tried a different set of ram sticks( Corsair vengeance rgb pro 2x8)
Can’t figure out what to do now and would really like my pc to work, ram works fine with other Cpu and updating bios doesn’t seem to help.

the slots might be broken... I'm just guessing though

DId you clear CMOS / set BIOS back to factory defaults after the BIOS update?

Make sure the BIOS update actually flashed successfully.
