I just got parts to make a new system. 5600x, g.skill ddr4 3800mzh trident z neo, evga 850w psu (confirmed working), rtx 3070 (confirmed working), and ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus mobo. I do not have access to an older AM4 cpu and this motherboard isn't flashing when I have a formatted fat32 flash drive with the bios update (followed asus instructions). I can get to "please press del or f2 to enter uefi bios" but can't get past that. Any way to fix this besides trying to find some kind soul that will let me borrow an older cpu to flash the mobo?
Edit: flash drive lights up when plugged in, I've tried every front and back port for the flash drive. And I'm using a Logitech g710 keyboard, don't have access to any others. I've seen where sometimes keyboards won't work on new systems and you need to use a cheap keyboard, could that be the issue why f2 and del aren't doing anything?
And I tried g.skill ripjaws ram from my older Intel system and still didn't work.
