I have bought the below setup to build a decent pint sized gaming rig for my girlfriend as a birthday present.
I have built quite a few computers over the years but have never attempted doing what I am doing this time which is updating the bios so that the motherboard will work with the 9th generation cpu before even installing any operating system and to do this I bought an Intel Pentium Gold G5400 which is an 8th gen cpu as far as I'm aware (I can't do that flash boot usb bios update thing with this motherboard either)
Now when I try to boot the system everything seems fine fans turn on, leds turn on, no beeps, no lights to say anything isn't working but for some reason there is no display coming up on the monitor.
The problem is with this little itx motherboard you can't reset the cmos and I'm fairly sure it's a problem with the motherboard as I confirmed the graphics card works in my other PC but both appear to be lighting up fine and fans are working etc.
All the pins are connected and I only have the necessary things connected, the only other thing I can think of trying without getting a new motherboard is finding an 8th gen intel cpu with built in display capabilities.
Any idea before I start sending back the motherboard as to what else it may be or if I'm doing something wrong or missing something.
