X570 No Bios & Performance Problems

Hi all, first time poster, I’m struggling that much! 
 

I recently upgraded my system with a new Ryzen 3600 and an MSI X570 A-PRO. I’m having some issues I just can’t get my head around. 
 

The first issue is I’m unable to get into my BIOS: I can boot into windows but get no motherboard information on boot. I believe the BIOS is loading in the background because it prevents a boot, but I have tried multiple monitors as well as on board HDMI and GPU. 
 

The second issue is general performance problems: I just seem to get stuttering during high load. I’ve tried running a couple of graphics demos and get very odd stuttering even though the both the CPU and GPU are only at around 15 to 20 percent load. Not something I had on my old hardware which was much older. 
 

Worth noting that this is a fresh install of windows and there’s nothing software related that could be causing this. 
 

Also worth noting I only have the 8 pin ATX power plugged in to the motherboard. My PSU has no 4 pin or secondary 8 pin but I read online this is not required unless overclocking (this seems a common assumption, but I can’t validate it). 
 

Trouble is, I don’t want to fork out £100+ for a different PSU if it’s not even a problem. 
 

Anyone got any suggestions? 
 

:)

Ah this motherboard again, gosh why is this thing selling so much.... can you return it? this motherboard is the second worst on all the X570 chipset line up, the internet is over-flood with issues with it.

 

Bad memory support

Horrendous VRM and Power phasing

Crappy BIOS

A lot of RMA'ing

 

The best if you can do here is return it if possible and buy a proper motherboard.

You can try enter the BIOS and maybe fix things, but if the board's new I'd rather get another one

I think it has to do with Newegg displaying dozens and dozens of 5 star reviews for MSI boards. I heard they did some sort of contest or event which required you to go to Newegg and review the different MBs but for whatever reason, if you go by the customer reviews, the MSI boards look 100 times better than offerings from all the other Manufactures.  That being the case, it has got to be the best board right?

The online store here where I often buy from also has MSI all over the place like the first 50 or so boards they show you are all MSI... 

 

They don't even have some other popular boards like certain ASUS etc... 

 

I  had two MSI boards so far and honestly they were both kinda trash... My B350 works, but the BIOS is a pain, updating the BIOS is even more pain lol, and the B450 was just all around terrible,  lots of crashing,  mysterious slowdowns...  

 

It's just really weird all MSI boards have excellent customer ratings... 

 

It's not like that store could write those themselves or anything.    :thinking:

 

 

So yeah, probably best OP returns this board... 

The direction tells you... the direction.

Just writing here in case anyone else has this trouble:

 

It's unbelivable this was the "solution" but I could get into the bios and start seeing the boot screens by turning my monitor on AFTER turning my PC on.

Apparently I'm such a creature of habit that I never noticed this.

Turning my monitor on first ALWAYS results in me having a blacked out boot load and inability to access the bios.
