Ab350 no boot

[genobeta]

Hi. I have built a new computer with a gygabite ga ab350 gaming 3 mobo. Ryzen 5 2600x. 16g of ripjaws ram. Nvidia 1060 3gb gpu and a corsair 650w gold pcu. I pass the cpu and ram start up test but get stuck on vga led. I have tried 2 other gpu's same problem. Im thinking mobo not good.

Will the system boot using the integrated video adapter and the 1060 removed?

COLGEEK thank you for reply. No it wil not. I even tried a Bios reset by removing battery for 5 minutes and reinserting it. I then tried rrmoving the battery and booting without to reset settings. In either case was not able to get bios to post. I tried using Hdmi and Dvi on both aswell. I still get the vga LED.

Do you know whether your motherboard's BIOS is running the most recent version? You need version F22 of the BIOS, or newer. Also, the 2600X does not have an integrated video controller, my bad.

AMD can send you a CPU to use to apply the BIOS upgrade.
