Hello all, hoping I can get pointed in the right direction. I have the following hardware but I cannot get the screen to display anything until the OS loads, so I cannot enter the BIOS. According to MSI's site this MB is compatible with the CPU, but I'm thinking I may have received an older board that needs a bios update.
MB: MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
PS: EVGA 500w
HDD: 500GB NVME M.2
GPU: MSI Radeon Armor RX580
RAM: PowerX 16GB DDR4 3200
Symptoms: I have the the NVME drive loaded with an Ubuntu OS image and it will load. I do not see any screen output until the OS has loaded, the POST screen is blank. Of the 4 diagnostic LEDS's near the power connector the CPU will light briefly then turn off, nothing else is displayed. If I press the "DEL" key when I see the "NUM LOCK" key light up the system stops, or appears to stop. I can toggle the NUM lock on and off, but there is no display.
On the MSI site the CPU is listed as compatible, but on the MB box it states that is compatible with the 3000 series only.
Does this board need the BIOS updated to work with the 5000 series CPU? This board does not have the button to flash from the USB, so what are the options to flash the BIOS if that is what is needed?
Thanks in advance
