[SOLVED] Need help with new z490 motherboard and 11th gen cpu trying to boot but no display please help...

[kwikvinny]

Been having problems with new build. Got new Asrock z490 aqua motherboard and Intel i9 11900k cpu. Leverytime I go to boot it up everything lights up, radiator fans and water pump kick on and the little debug lcd screen says 00 but I get nothing on the screen and the keyboard and mouse don't light up.

I tried different ram kits in different slots, I reset the cmos multiple times and press safe boot button but nothing. I even took everything apart to make sure cpu was in right which it was but still nothing. What am I missing?

Your complete systems spec's including the display and how it's attached. <grin>

The board needs the latest BIOS version for that processor.

You need bios 2.10 for the processor:

There are a couple of beta updates for 11th gen that you should probably install:
