New Build - Stuck in black screen :(

[Ωmegα]

Yesterday before I get involved with the cable management I did a post test. The PC turned on and then I turned it off. I turned it on again and went into BIOS. The I exited without Saving and the PC restarted, but it got stuck in a black screen. I thought it was normal cause I didn't have windows installed yet.

 

Today I finished with the cable management and I turned the PC on again. I went into BIOS and check whatever options there are while monitoring the CPU temperature at the same time. The temperature never went above 42 Celsius.

 

Anyway, I went and enabled DOCP Profile. I thought before I install a BIOS Update I should try the DOCP Profile. The RAM speed changed to 3600 as it should and then I saved and exited.

The same thing like yesterday happened. PC restarted, but just a black screen. This time I noticed that the DRAM LED on my motherboard was orange. I turned off the PC and turned it on again...and unfortunately the same thing happened.

 

I am not sure what to do. I thought of doing a BIOS Update through the motherboard's flashback feature.

 

The system has:

ASUS B550-F Gaming

5800X

RTX 3070

32 GB 3600 16-16-19-39 RAM

2x NVMe

Did you try clearing CMOS in any of this? You might have to clear CMOS then update BIOS then enable your DOCP. The old BIOS might not be playing well with the 5800x and DOCP.

Came back to update. The BIOS Flashback fixed it. I turned it on, then went into BIOS, I exited BIOS, then a message about Safe BIOS Mode or something like that came up and I had to click F1 to Enter BIOS. I then put my USB in restarted the PC, went back to BIOS to check  if it appears as a Boot Device, restarted the PC again...and now I am installing Windows.

imo it's best to install windows right away, then make sure it's working and then do stuff in BIOS, that way it's less likely to get stuck in some weird boot loop (just a theory but always worked for me)
