I just upgraded my old pc (i5 4460, 8gb ram, Asus h81m_cs Mobo) to:

i5-12400f
Asus Prime h610m e D4
Corsair 16gb vengeance ddr4 ram
GPU is rx 570 4gb
PSU is Corsair vs450

But when I turn on pc, all lights lit up, all fans working but no display on monitor (monitor goes to sleep)
Keyboard and mouse lights also working
And my pc power button light flashing every 2 seconds slowly..
Checked CMOS battery, checked cables.

Edit: And pc never stops.. fans spinning until I cut power.
I also have 2 120mm case fans and 2hdd and 1 sata SSD 250gb

using hdmi or dp on the rx 570?
vs450? do you have another psu for testing?
I replaced GPU with an old gt 520 and it worked!
Is my psu not sufficient enough as my rx 570 is fine?
If psu is culprit then I will buy Corsair cx550m..

450Watts PSU is not enough to power your system. It will cause bluescreens and driver crashes. Even if you got lucky to access the bios with it.

550 watt PSU gold rated are good enough just keep them clean, and clean your PC every month, I run a rx 580 8Gb-32gbRaM- ...four 1TB hard drives, and 5 120mm fans, and 8core amd 8350 off of a nzxt E550 with usb power watt control by cam software. Make sure to clean your gpu with a Air gun/air compressor, a can of air is not powerful enough to save a gpu from dust under a memory chip, most people forget to blow air under a memory chip or on the side of a RAM stick memory unit. I have taken power supplies apart and cleaned them, but if a big part fails it can ruin your whole system. I will also note this for others blow in the places that you think dust can't go, all types of conductive dust has a level of resistance that can or will prevent proper system operations or damage to components.

First of all the problem was with my rx 570, the system won't post anything just fans spinning and no display... But on my old gt 520 it worked sometimes and sometimes not. And I also borrowed Rtx 2060 from a friend it also worked.

I fixed it with alot of trail and error process.
The fix has two stages: -

1st: when bios was set with xmp, the system won't post whatever the graphics card, so first I updated the bios with newest release from Asus site.. and my xmp problem got fixed.

2nd: The Rx 570 has some incompatiblity with Asus h610m e D4.. that got fixed by changing the pcie x16 speed to gen2 from gen4 in bios settings.

Hope if someone else gets my problem, he will be able to fix it easily.

I thank you for posting your solution, I am into building incompatible systems and making them work, my current build for gaming, has compatible issues, my motherboard does not support my CPU or ram, and the only way I could make my CPU work for my system was updating my Bio's before installing, and switching ram modules around in the two slots so it would read 32gb and not 24gb. The big reason about your issue you had was a reason I kept my old GT 640 ddr3 and old GT 630 ddr2 GPU's for testing systems, I know having post testing cards for motherboards will be usful in the future if you plan on running a repair shop or personal use.
