Computer won't post.

Hi LTT forums,

 

I recently built a new ITX pc and it's not posting. When I press the power button, the power LED comes on and all of the fans are spinning but it doesn't seem to get to the post screen. I sent in the Motherboard and they sent a replacement but it's still not working so it isn't likely the motherboard. I also tested with a different SATA SSD which I knew worked. I tried with each stick of ram one at a time as well. They only thing that leaves is the CPU and the power supply. The manufacturer claims that a bios update is only needed for ryzen 5000 series CPUs and the power supply seems to be working; the fans are spinning and the power led is coming on. Any idea why it's not working? Below is a list of my parts.

 

CPU

Motherboard

RAM

SSD

Case + PSU

3600 isn't an APU. You need a dedicated graphics card or an AMD cpu that ends in "G" like the 3200g or similar..

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Thanks. I can't believe I missed something as obvious as it needing a discrete GPU.
