I got asus b-350 strix, ryzen 1600, 2x4 ddr4 corsair vengeance lpx 3000mhz.
Yellow led lights up between cpu and ram lights up when i try to boot it. Im sure i attached everything correctly so idk what is the problem. Ty
 
What is the exact model of the motherboard? Is it the B350-F? What is the serial number of the RAM? Check the serial number of the RAM on the memory QVL for the motherboard. Ryzen has compatibility issues with RAM and I have seen a lot of people have problems with corsair RAM (typically it is running at high RAM speed though).

Typically when a PC wont boot, it is because there is an issue with the RAM.

I tried using only onewith both of the sticks and tried each of the slots, also i plugged in cpu power cable.
 
I agree with Alexoiu, you may still need a different RAM model if everything is hooked up right. Make sure the RAM is seated all the way. I looked at the QVL for both bios versions and cmk8gx4m2b3000c15 is on both list. But your model has an "r" at the end. Not sure if that is a different SKU or not.

For as good as Ryzen CPUs are, their RAM compatibility is very poor.
