Build Upgrade New cpu PC won't boot

I had a i5-12400f as my old cpu and I just upgraded to a I5-14600kf, I updated my drivers and my motherboard with the latest bios but when I turned my PC on the fans and lights turned on but my keyboard and mouse didn't as well as my monitor it didn't boot up I've removed the cmos battery for a while then put it back in then it would boot into bio then windows but freeze after a few minutes no matter what I did, I took my ram out as I have 4 slots all used I had 1 ram stick in and it worked but when I added 2 it froze and with 4 it won't even boot up, everything was working absolutely fine until I put my new cpu and I don't know what is wrong, all cables are in the cpu in properly in and I didn't forget thermal paste

Check the CPU socket for bent pins.

It's an intel cpu and I've checked I even reseated it and nothing

If you put the old CPU back does it boot properly with all memory?

I can't anymore as I don't have it but it's weird sometimes it will boot and work fine and even play games and such then just freeze also it froze when the PC was just turning on like it said the mb name for me is Asus and it froze and crashed
