Custom Build Won't Boot

[Kubrix]

Yesterday I built a computer and after I tried to turn it on, it would not show the boot screen. The CPU and Case fans are running, so I am assuming that the motherboard is working. I double and triple-checked that my memory was mounted in the correct slots. I checked that the CPU was installed correctly as well. This isn't my first rodeo with building a computer, but I have never experienced something like this. I would appreciate any help.

 

These are the parts that I used:

Ryzen 7 5700G

GIGABYTE B550M AORUS Elite

Corsair Vengance LPX 32GB 3000MHz (I have two of them)

FSP HYPER 80+ PRO 550W

With that cpu motherboard combo, i believe you need to update BIOS. You need a usb and another pc/laptop and you should be ok.

Yes, the case fans. But I have tried booting with and without the case fans and still nothing.

I have been trying to flashback the BIOS, but I haven't been able to get anywhere. I downloaded the BIOS for my specific CPU from the GIGABYTE support website and put it into the BIOS slot and tried booting it, but still the same result.

Try booting with 1 ram stick too to rule that out, this is the systems first boot correct?

Tried that. So far no good, I am going to check all the slots though. Yes, this is supposed to be the initial boot.

Funny, but I didn't see an SSD or hdd listed.  The machine won't work without one.

Sorry, you're right. I forgot to list it. I have a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2

So what version of bios you have downloaded?

The "FB", since I have the B550M AORUS Elite rev. 1.3

Download the latest revision.

I'm not sure what FB is , but this is there you need to download your BIOS'es from.

Which revision is your board?

1.3. FB was the version ID.

Yeah, i've missed that part.

 

Well it seems that your board should be compatible with 5000 series Ryzen out of the box anyways as it is rev 1.3

 

 I was looking at the manual but this board doesnt seem to have debug LDS which is super inconvenient.

 

Are you sure you are trying to flash bios in a correct manner? 

 

Dropping a 3000 series/ different 5000 series CPU would be a quick way to check if it board bios or the cpu or something else entirely.

I don't have another CPU right now, unfortunately. The flash drive is FAT32, renamed the boot file to "gigabyte.bin", and I turned off the power then turned the power switch back on and held the QFLASH_PLUS button on the motherboard for a few seconds. It lit up orange and started blinking for about three minutes then stopped blinking but the computer continued running. I know the process is supposed to take a while, but the computer will ran without the orange light for 19 minutes without anything happening, so I assume it is not working.

 

EDIT: I put it in the USB connector that says BIOS as well.
