[SOLVED] ASUS Z590M-PLUS locking up

[aallien]

I’ve got an asus z590m-plus that I’m using in a new build and it’s locked up in the bios several times. I was able to get the bios updated and it was a little more stable, but still locks the whole screen is when I try to boot from usb. It has very small white pixels all over every time. When it will actually begin to boot from usb the whole screen is covered in green pixels. I’ve tried known good ram in it as well and get the same result. I’ve removed the processor to check for bent pins (there are none). I’ve ensured that the heatsink is evenly tightened. This is using onboard video. It locks up when using a video card as well I just don’t see the green pixels.

I’ve used this board on 2 other builds with 10th Gen i5’s with no issue. The only difference on this build is an 11700 vs a 10600k.

By saying you have used this board before, do you mean that the board having a problem is the exact same unit that has run ok with a 10600K?
If so, I would think your 10700 processor might be defective.
Intel processors rarely have defects, but it does happen.

If this is just the same make/model that you have used before with success, I would suspect that the new motherboard is defective.

The original bios level has supported 11700 from day 1.

Is the display possibly the culprit?
Is the connection dp, hdmi, or vga?
What is the make/model of the discrete graphics card?
Could your monitor cable be at issue?
Can you test with a 10600K?

Is this being tested inside a case where a short may be at issue?
