Just purchased a new build, keeping my old case/PSU (ocz 650w) and the pc boots up, CPU/GPU fans are spinning and mobo led lights are on but nothing shows on my display.

BUILD:
Ryzen 5 1600
AMD RX 580
Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb (8gbx2)
MSI B350M-A

What I've tried:
Changing around ram sticks, just one in each slot, both inserted.

Removed CMOS battery for 10 minutes then held a screwdriver to the JBAT1 to CLEAR_CMOS

Plugged in my old GTX 660ti

DVI cable, HDMI cable (benq xl2410t I think is the monitor model, old 120hz monitor)

I have reinserted my old build and that boots fine.

Breadboarding the mobo on a cardboard box so nothing like a standoff should be shorting anything

MOBO speaker is plugged in and not making any sound (I removed all ram to check the speaker is working and it did beep when no ram connected)

image of the JBAT1 pins that I connected with a screwdriver for 5 seconds to clear the cmos (can someone confirm these are in fact the correct pins)

SUMMARY: I'm pretty new to this stuff although I have spent many hours researching everything and I believe it's possible that the ram is not compatible (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE) or the mobo is Faulty, any other trouble shooting tips I should try or what should I try to return/change? I don't have access to any other ddr4 ram

[EDIT: added two images of the build booting and the two JBAT1 pins I connected to clear the cmos asking if someone can verify these are in fact the correct pins]

The board and CPU are supported, the CPU box even states RYZEN READY. How would I update the BIOS without a display?

How could I update the BIOS myself is there a method? It's a Sunday but tomorrow I will call up my local pc repair company and ask them if they can do it if it's something I can't do

Oh god, what a headache. Surely they should know of this issue and not ship a product that will come with said issue? I'll have to send back the board for them to update the BIOS for them to send it back then? Sounds like a lengthy process in which I spent a lot of my money which I took a long time saving up for such a long delay. If This is the case and the fix to this issue I will be surely staying far away from MSI in the future. Thanks for your replies really helps having someone else looking and helping this has quite stressed me out

Something I missed is that the ez debug led is lit, in the manual it's either no boot device detected or no cpu detected. I believe you are now 100% correct I will contact msi first thing Monday morning and get this sorted

Updating thread. Purchased an ASUS PRIME B350M-A and I am still having the same problem. Unsure due to no debug LED if it is detecting the CPU but again everything is running but no display.
 
The i5 1600 was launched in April, while the 0502 BIOS version was released in February. Only the 0604 BIOS version seems to update the AGESA code.
The CPU Support list on the ASUS site, claiming that the 1600 is supported starting with the 0405 BIOS version, is wrong, I think.
Still a BIOS issue, in my opinion.

This is getting ridiculous now. I've just been on live support and he told me to flash the BIOS via USB. As I type the USB stick is plugged into the board how long should I leave it in before rebooting, and does it matter what slot I have the USB drive plugged into?

Currently attempting a USB FLASH update to 0604. I'll get back to update on how it goes

This is the Asus live support telling me this should update the BIOS...
