Recently bought several PC parts to finally get a much needed upgrade. Now, even though this one is the 3rd build I put together myself, I still only have a superficial understading of things. This are the specs:
Motherboard: Mini-ITX Gigabyte Z490I Aorus Ultra (rev. 1.0)
GPU: Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC 8GB GDDR6
CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K 8-Core 3.6GHz w/ Turbo 5.0GHz 16MB
RAM: RAM Kingston Fury Beast RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3600MHz
Storage: SSD M.2 2280 Crucial P3 500GB 3D NAND NVMe
Power Supply: Gigabyte PB450B 450W ATX 80 Plus Bronze
CPU Cooler: Nox Hummer H-224 Noir
Additional Fans: 2x 140mm Corsair 2000RPM ML140 4 Pins PWM
As the title suggests, when I turn on the PC, the fans start to turn and the RGB lights from the RAM light up, with no interruptions until I choose to turn it off. However, no image appears in the monitor, and no light from the keyboard or mouse comes on.
I went to www.pcpartpicker.com and it suggest that the BIOS may need to be updated to support the CPU. So, using the instructions on AUROS own youtube channel, I usedthe Q-FLASH PLUS button to update the BIOS. It did not work.
So I removed everything but the CPU, and tried to get a post, still no dice.
I know the monitor works, and every component is pristine. I suspect the motherboard my be at fault, given other threads I visited, but I would like to ask if there are any other options I can try, before I spend more money.
