Upgraded computer with new mother board (Asus Prime B650 AM5) and new CPU (Ryzen 7 9700X) installed existing Ram and GPU from previous computer. 2x16 gb corsair vengeance 3600 ddr5 and a Nvdea 3060 8gb. The computer starts, gpu fans work, ram lights up. Have reseated both. Both should work because they did in previous PC. The computer won't display. What am I doing wrong. All connections seem to be set. Nothing out of place. It should be booting. Could it be a cpu problem

Would this really cause the computer to not display, and also how do I update the board so that the bios is compatible 

Yes this would prevent the PC from booting.

AMD boards have a feature called BIOS flashback. There shoudl be a USB-Port with an Icon for it on the back panel.

Maybe check the manual but i would guess it might be the port right below the button for it.

You will need some other computer to prepare a USB-Flashdrive with the BIOS update file on it. Then simply press the BIOS flashback button and wait. The process should also be described in the manual.

Definitely do what the other posters have mentioned. However, you may also have a known Nvidia GPU issue with old firmware. If none of the other things work, might want to pop the GPU in a working computer and see if its firmware is old.
