Just finishing up a new build that my advised my son to use one of the recommended gaming builds from this website.

I've built two Pc's [last one in 2022], and all of my builds had a dvd with the motherboard, where as this one didn't. So when we turn the PC on, its just a black screen..

Here are the specs;
CPU: intel core i5-14600kf
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte z790 gaming X AX
GPU: RTX4060 Ti
RAM: crucial pro 32 gb (x4v 32gb)
STORAGE: WD black SN850x (2TB)
CASE: LIAN LI Lancool 216RX
COOLER: PS120 Thermalright PS120SE CPU air cooler

I will post pictures of the motherboard soon.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU. You will need a donor PC or laptop to download drivers for your motherboard and GPU drivers. As for your OS, using the aforementioned donor PC, you're advised to create a bootable USB installer for the OS.

RAM: crucial pro 32 gb (x4v 32gb)
Rams populating slots A2 and B2(assuming you're working with 216GB sticks of ram)?

Regarding getting into BIOS, might want to see if any of the Stauts(diagnostic)LED's are lit up.

Make sure you're connecting monitor to GPU.

You might need to update the BIOS in order to boot with that CPU. Check the manual on how to use Q-Flash.
 
Here's a pic of the motherboard
