build components listed below

Built my first PC today with no problems until bootup attempt. All rgb and fans came on and stayed on but got no signal on monitor. Tried using the vga on the motherboad and the hdmi on the gpu through the monitor and didnt get a signal. Also tried using the gpu hdmi on a television and still got no signal. Tried troubleshooting for several hours, went through the whole thread listed below to try and fix it and still got no signal. Any help is much appreciated.

Solution
The board might need a BIOS update to support that CPU. You'd need a supported CPU for that.
Another option would be returning the board and buying instead a Z390 one.
