This is what I got
Case is Fractal Design Focus G Mid-Tower Case

Motherboard is
Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus wifi.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU
Memory: 32GB T-Force RGB DDR5
Cooler for CPU is Arctic Freezer 36
Graphics card : Geforce GTX 550 Ti (I plan to upgrade later).
Power Supply: Seasonic Model SSR-500GB

I got it all together. I hooked up CPU power, motherboard power connector, and the Geforce GTX 550Ti power connector, but no post. I'm not really using this for gaming so much, so I don't need the latest and greatest graphics card. The memory upgrade is good enough for me alone, coming from a computer that I had from 2011, this is a major upgrade.

When I turn it on, nothing happens. The memory sticks glow, and all the fans turn on. It seems they are moving too slowly. So I thought it was the power supply at first. So I tried 3 different power supplies. This first one I already listed. The second one is a Silencer 500 EPS12V. Both are 500 watts the silencer is older but has a lot more amps on the rails. Then I still thought it was the power supply.

So I went out and bought a RM850e corsair thinking the computer needed more watts; otherwise, it wouldn't post. All three had the same results. Very slow fans, no post. No beep noises, no anything.

So I decided to try even an older graphics card and got no results. I got this as a combo deal. So I don't want to let it go and return it just yet.

I'm getting the same results. Any ideas what's going on? No beep codes at all. Just no post. It's almost like it's so quiet it's not running. But it does turn on.
 
Is it possible that when I used that older gpu it went for external rather than internal? Now it wont even boot up my internal even though I got it hooked up through the HDMI port on the motherboard I/O ? Maybe something got screwed up. I did take the GPU out.


Update: Maybe I do have to wait 10 mins. At least it's not shutting off. Hmm, I never heard of this. It's been more than 30 mins and still nothing.

Okay I finally got it to boot. I waited 40 mins and shut off the computer and turned it on and it got posted.
If your sure you've updated the bios the latest non beta release, the board will only pick between an iGPU or a dGPU - not going to try detect "external" gpu - at least that's all I've seen on my 3 B650 boards I have here & different brands each of them as well.
So in the end you answered your own question with it posted! great so a display is showing on your monitor then?
