New PC won't post.

I recently purchased both a new cpu and new motherboard but kept my old ram (compatible with both cpu and mobo I checked) but I am unable to get my system to boot.

 

I have the ryzen 7 3700x with an Mpg B550 gaming plus motherboard and corsair vengeance Lpx DDR4 3000 ram 2x8GB sticks.

And a 750 watt psu.

 

The two leads I have are from the Debug lights but there's conflict there as well.

 

When I use one of my ram sticks I get a DRAM white LED and when I use the other stick I get a CPU white LED debug light.

 

Here is what I have tried.

 

I cleared the CMOS

I flashed to the latest bios with no parts in it.

I have tried to boot with both ram sticks in both single and dual channel on both ram channels.

I have tried to boot with a single stick in all four slots

I have reseated my CPU.

I have disconnected and reconnected every single wire in my system.

 

I have tried quite literally every single option Google has brought to me outside of testing other parts in the board as I do not have access to other parts.

 

The ram worked perfectly fine before replacing the board and cpu

 

And the reason I replaced the board and cpu is that I cracked the socket and broke pins off of my previous cpu having misaligned the pins after replacing thermal paste

 

I did attempt to use my new CPU in the old board before I noticed a crack in the socket but I haven't been able to find other posts about a cracked CPU socket bricking a CPU only that it prevents the board from using a CPU. 

 

I need help figuring this one out.

a) what PSU

b) Do you have a GPU? The 3700X has no integrated graphics

and c) try a bunch of ram configs

Big nerd.
