So I just finished building a brand new gaming PC (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZQ42bL), and have run into severe issues trying to get this up and running (finished it on 2023-DEC-10, Sunday), and I am nowhere close to being finished setting up the drivers, and have run into a brick wall. Here is the TLDR: (long version is here https://www.reddit.com/r/bapccanada/comments/18fl1xn/system_brand_new_wont_get_past_black_screen_on/)
1. Built the system, installed windows, logged in. Installed chipset driver, restarted. Installed PCIe WIFI card (so I don't have to drag files from my other PC)
2. PROBLEM starts here: My system would now NOT get past a black screen on startup (all components were on - fans spinning, RGB, etc.)
3. Reset CMOS, but the same thing happened again.
4. WINDOWS reinstall #1 > 1x restart (same thing as above #2) = same problem (???)
5. Isolated the issue to the PCIe card.
6. WINDOWS reinstall #2 (DID NOT INSTALL PCIe WIFI card)
7. BIOS update > chipset update
8. Now I am stuck, as I want to update my wifi/lan drivers, but using the ASUS drivers on their website (using the .exe) launches nothing, and there is no task manager action after doing this. How do I get this to work, as the ASUS ones simply will not work for me (tried the older versions as well)
Here is where I am getting drivers from (https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650-a-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_download/)
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here? I don't recall updating drivers being THIS challenging, and if I plug in a PCIe card, it literally bricks the PC, making me reinstall windows. Totally lost and unsure how to get this working at all. There are no issues with hardware installation, as I have 3x verified this during the prior trilogy of issues, and I can get to desktop no problem now (after NOT installing a WIFI card).
