Hi everyone I recently made a new PC build, when I turn it on all the components start up but the monitor screen stays black, and a red LED on the top left of the motherboard lights up. Do you have any suggestions :)?
My PC components:
  • Case: NZXT H7 ELITE
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B-550 F Gaming WiFi II
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 32GB (2×16) 3600Mhz
  • GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3060 Aorus 12GB
  • SSD: Samsung 980 pro 2TB
  • Dissipator: NZXT Kraken X73 360mm
  • PSU: ASUS ROG Strix 1000W
 
First things first, the B-550 chipset was released before the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. Unless the motherboard was manufactured after the Ryzen 7 5800X was released (which it may very well could have been), it won't have the appropriate BIOS version. It may need a BIOS update, which will be difficult if not impossible without a compatible CPU.
