PC doesn't boot into BIOS

KerrBeeldens

Hello, today I tried building my new PC but sadly it doesn't boot into the BIOS

Lights on the GPU and RAM are on, CPU cooler spins, and all cables seem to be plugged in. However, whenever I turn the PC on, I just get nothing.

Specs:

Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wi-Fi
AMD Ryzen 3600
Samsung 970 EVO plus 500gb

G skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600mhz (2x8gb) 

Be quiet pure power 11 600W CM

GTX 1070 (Aero) 

 

Hope someone can help!

If you still haven't got this fixed, I'd remove all but 1 RAM stick - NO USB devices, no drives and see if it gets to the BIOS.

That didn't fix the issue.

Reseat the CPU and try the other RAM stick in the correct slot.

If that still doesn't work, the CPU or Motherboard might be bad.

I actually figured out the problem, which was slightly more obvious then I expected. I was badly informed on my motherboard's compatibility with Ryzen 3rd gen. I thought it meant that it was compatible straight out of the box, BIOS updated and all, but it wasn't. I borrowed my brothers 1st gen Ryzen CPU, updated the BIOS to an update that did support 3rd gen Ryzen et voilla, it works!
