I have a new B450-f (3rd gen ryzen ready) mother board and new ryzen 3600 installed into my pc due to a 1 long beep 4 short beep hardware failure i've been trying to trouble shoot. I've disconnected all hardware outside of ram psu and gpu. I still get the same beep code. Is my PSU not supplying enough power? I cant imagine it be8ng anything else
 
I can't see it so how would I know, you sure the board is set up for your CPU? Some need to update with older CPU'S, what does the manual say it is(in the back usually under trouble shooting codes)? Try one stick of memory at a time, is the memory on the QVL list of the motherboard? Low battery voltage, try swapping the battery out from another board?

the beep code is in the motherboard manual. Also, you need to list all your hardware, asking of your PUS is not supplying enough power is silly if you dont tell what it is.
 
A quick search turned up that the code signifies "Failure of Hardware component" Have you re-seated RAM, GPU, and checked for bent or missing CPU pins?
 
Make sure that BOTH the motherboard power connector and CPU power connectors are installed. And fully seated.
 
Make sure the Ram is fully seated in the correct slots.

As DeathtoGnomes notes, we can't advise you one way or the other without knowing what you have. Please fill out your System Specs.

That said, I highly doubt it is because your PSU is not supplying enough power. If that was the problem is it more likely the computer would (1) not even get to the point where POST (power on self-test) could even toss up your beep-codes or (2) crash suddenly without giving any error.

Either something is faulty or you have an installation/assembly error. Did you verify you properly connected "all" the required power connections?

Did you triple check to make sure you did not insert one or more extra standoffs under the board? A common mistake by the less experienced and distracted pros alike is to insert one or more extra standoff in the case under the motherboard. Any extra standoff creates the potential for an electrical “short” in one or more circuits. The results range from "nothing" happening (everything works perfectly) to odd "intermittent” problems to "nothing" (as in nothing works at all :(). So, you might want to verify you only inserted a standoff where there is a corresponding motherboard mounting hole.
