PLEASE HELP! MOTHERBOARD NOT WORKING

[Azade12]

GUYS! PLEASE HELP!

My ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS MOBO doesn't recognize Zen 3 natively. It's a new PC build and I don't have any Zen 2. I have tried flashing the BIOS 6 times but it hasn't worked at all. I've followed all the steps perfectly. The MOBO recognizes the file and flashes the LED until it turns off when it is done, but still, nothing! PLEASE HELP! 

I'm using a Ryzen 7 5800x

This one seems to beg for more details.  Why do you feel that it isn’t working?

There is no signal to the monitor. My motherboard does not support Ryzen 5000 series out of the box so I have to update it with a bios flash.

I have reinserted the ram sticks, and they are powered because they have lights. My CPU is powered. My GPU is on. Everything is plugged in correctly. I only figured out that I had to update the BIOS yesterday and am doing it all today. 

 

I have formated my flash drive to FAT32. I renamed the BIOS update file using a tool provided and manually. Still there is nothing. Also I have flashed the bios multiple times. The LED flashing part too. None has worked.

So you feel it’s a bios issue because your monitor isn’t working.  What about gpu driver stuff?

Hmm, can I update GPU drivers? There is no post on the PC.

Sounds like it could be posting you just aren’t seeing it.

Bombastinator you were right. My GPU had to just be reinserted. I often overlook the most trivial solutions in conclusion to crack at the most difficult problems. Turns out it was easy. Thanks for everything!

most welcome  “is it plugged in” and “have you turned it off and on” is sort of my wheelhouse here.
