If the bios isn’t right for the new cpu would that cause the pc to not display anything 

most manufactures update the bios on many boards before shipping it unless its been sitting in a box in a warehouse for a while. And even if they haven't updated it bios flashback is a really easy way to update it 

I just upgraded a few components in my pc. A Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 5900X, an AMD stock cooler to a Corsair H115i liquid cooler and a gtx 1660 Super to an RTX 3090. Turned the pc on and all the fans spin and RGB lights are on but no display. I never upgraded the PSU which is a fully modular Corsair 650W. Where do I start

Unless you really power constrain your system, your PC will just periodically shut off anyway, as you are tripping your PSU.

 

That being said, it should theoretically turn on. Sometimes components draw their maximum power at startup, which could already overwhelm your PSU though.

 

What Motherboard do you have and did you update your BIOS? If you have an older mainboard (3X0 or 4X0 chipset), you'll need to update your BIOS, otherwise the CPU won't work in your Motherboard

So you might wanna check for any loose connections. Is the DP or HDMI Cable pluged into the Graphics card and not the Motherboard? You might also have a bad graphics Card. If you can plug it into a Friends Pc and look if it shows Display You might also check if All the Parts you got are working with Eachother. Use https://pcpartpicker.com/ for that, just put in all your Parts and look if some dont work together. The 650W Power Supply might be the Problem here. Putting all your put all your Parts into Pc part picker, with some average other Parts i come out to 600W. So the Power Supply might not get the System going under Load. But Test it with your Parts. If nothing Works, you can take it to a Pc Profesional. 

 

Hope this Helps and you get it up and running!

It’s an X570 Aorus Elite, I didn’t think to do anything to the bios either 

Your Motherboard should have native support for the CPU.

 

If you still have all of your other parts, I'd just swap in your old GPU and see if your system starts up.

If it doesn't recheck that you connected all cables properly. You (usually) need to connect all the power cables on your GPU for it to start. Also take your CPU out and put it back in, just to make sure it has proper contact.

 

Also, and I don't want to stress this enough, if you power trip your PSU and something goes wrong, every component in you PC can break. So do all of this at your own risk. Since Corsair is a pretty reputable brand, this is unlikely, but it could still happen.

 

PS. If you quote the answers from people (just click the arrow under the reply), they get a notification, so they know that you've responded.

Then do all the other steps I've listed.

If you exceed the power your PSU can supply, it will shut itself off to protect itself and your components. Your GPU normally draws up to 350W. But specifically the RTX 3000 series is known to have huge transient spikes in power demand, over 2x their average power draw. These happen only for a very short amount of time ~ a couple of milliseconds if I remember correctly. But if your GPU alone suddenly wants 700W of power and the rest of your PC is also still there, your PSU is going to say bye bye.

 

If the PSU doesn't shut itself off properly, something inside of it will most likely start burning. This can send a huge power surge through your PC, possibly destroying it in the process.

 

If you want to know more, gamersnexus has great videos on these topics.

Thanks for that. If the bios isn’t right for the new cpu would that cause the pc to not display anything

Your PSU is WAAAAAAY underpowered for that system. 5900X + 3090 you are looking at AT LEAST 850W really good PSU. Your base system - CPU, Mobo, Cooler, Memory and GPU draw 600W on their own easily. If you have additional case fans, that adds another ~5W per fan. If you have a mechanical drive, that's another 20W per HDD. So yeah... this poor PSU is being abused way beyond its capabilities. For such combos i usually put 1000W Seasonic or 1300W EVGA PSUs.

But hey, this can happen to anybody. First time i did that mistake was when i tried to start an R9 290X with a 500W PSU. Same thing happened - fans spun, but no picture.

Yes, but all x570's support the 5900X natively. So you don't have to worry about that.

Thanks for all the help you gave me, I was using an X570 I bought when I put my pc together and hadn't updated the bios and back then the 5000 series wasn't out. So flashed the motherboard with the new bios on flashback and starts up first time. Only thing it doesn't do right that id appreciate your opinion on is, I push the power on and it goes beep beep beep together then a second of pause then a beep as it boots?

Maybe I got the timelines wrong than, but I was pretty sure that X570 launched with the new ryzen chips. Are you sure that you don't have an X470 board?

Did you install your PC speaker? A tiny black box, that makes peeping noises or were are the beeps coming from?

Anyway, those are usually error codes. A long beep and 2 (or 3, but this should only happen on old boards) short beeps mean that you have an issue with your GPU.

A single beep means everything is fine and 2 beeps signal a CMOS error. -> see https://bestofmotherboard.com/gigabyte-motherboard-beep-codes/?utm_content=expand_article

I have installed that little buzzer/speaker thing and three short beeps then a pause then the post beep

IC? The RAM was fine before I put the CPU and GPU, could it possibly be unseated? Also not sure if its being overclocked? how/should i put it back to factory?

Integrated circuit probably.

 

In your BIOS/UEFI settings, there is a way to put everything back to factory settings. But it is strange that it boots afterwards. So I don't really know what could cause this. Reseating your Memory and CPU could help though
