Crosshair VI Hero won't boot after processor upgrade

EHT
Level 7

Hello.

I built this machine around 2017, at that time I used a Ryzen 7 1700x CPU.

It has a Corsair 750 watt PSU, MSI GeForce GTX 1650, 2 sticks 16MB Vengeance LPX ram, BIOS 8801.

I installed a Ryzen 9 5900X, but it will not boot. Green light for processor is on, and I'm getting a d6 Q-code.

I tried an older GPU, same thing. 

I unplugged all drives but the M2 boot drive. I unplugged all external USB devices, including mouse and keyboard. 

This led to a d7 Q-code, which was fixed by plugging the keyboard back in. 

I've tried a number of things, including clearing CMOS with button on rear mb panel. When the GPU was out I also replaced the CMOS battery. 

Nothing has worked.

I don't know if the GPU is not compatible, or what's going on. 

Any help would be appreciated!
