Here is the outcome of the testing: 1. Removed new memory and GPU, restarted using iGPU and was able to boot into BIOS. 2. Reinstalled 2X16G memory. On power-up all 4 sticks RGB lit up but new memory did not show up in BIOS (via iGPU). 3. I removed all memory and put the new memory into...

I did. I attempted to reset via BIOS/UEFI multiple times via the reset but that had no effect. Thanks, I am confident that I only shorted the 2 CLRTC pins as 1. They were isolated on the board and clearly marked CLRTC and 2. I am a retired IT person and I know my way around the inside of a PC...

That's pretty much what I was thinking about doing, except I didn't consider removing all but 1 stick of RAM. I did read an hour ago that I should have removed the 3050 before trying the dport, so we are all thinking in the same direction. I just panicked when nothing came up. Perhaps my 750W...

I just tried running the Displayport connector to the internal GPU (iGPU?). That does not work, either. My display circles through it's various connection types indicating no signal from the Displayport and then goes to sleep. Still no joy.

The outcome is worse than when I started. I re-seated the memory once again, I removed the battery, shorted CLRTC as the MB manual indicated, replaced the battery correctly, put it all back together, held the DEL key to boot into BIOS and it powers up, the new memory is still not lit (perhaps...

This is a interesting thread. I built my gaming machine just as the Bitcoin farmers were snagging off every GPU that hit the web. I wanted a 3080 but the price was around 2K and man, I wasn't going there. I ran with the internal GPU in my i7 for some time before I was able to get a $200 1050 TI...

Thanks for the advice. I actually did say that I had not reset the CMOS in the second line of my reply, but it is good to hear that you think I should try it. Experience has taught me not to play around with BIOS unless absolutely necessary but in this case I think I will have to give the reset...

First of all, thank you for replying. No, I did not reset the CMOS after the BIOS upgrade. Here are the current specs, along with additional BIOS information: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, 3696 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) CPU cooler: NZXT Kracken X53 73.11 cfm...

I've been at this for about 50 hours, have emailed the memory manufacturer and the board manufacturer and still no joy. I'm an old retired tech guy but this really has me stumped. It's possible that I'm getting too old for this stuff. A year ago I built a PC using an Asus TUF Z390M Plus MB...
