First PC build NEED HELP

FluorineJ · May 18, 2021

Ok, so I finallyyyy put all the components together, FOR THE FIRST TIME. As suggested, I did not put them in the case, instead I put cpu, aio, ssd, ram, and gpu on my mb. So I connected all the cables required, and pugged in the power supply trying to flash the bios first (because I am using 5950x on a X570 mb that requires a flash).

The mb blinks once, and does not light up. The aio and gpu fans are not spinning. Rams light up.

What will the possible problems be?

I am so worried.

Also, is it ok to use a 128 gb flash drive to flash it?

okay, now I know that the model of this mb can only be flashed without the cpu installed. But I tried and there is still no led light for qflash

Ok, did you download the latest version, unzip, rename "gigabyte.bin", put on USB stick, insert into the white USB port and with it turned off push the qflash button? Light should flash until the bios is done. Make sure power cables are connected securely and correctly.

When installing cpu beware of proper orientation of the cpu and proper mounting and pressure of the cooler.
