Hi there, welcome! I tried to post in the right area and hope it’s where you need it. Your new setup includes an MSI B550 carbon WiFi with a 9 series 5900 AMD Pro processor. You kept your Corsair DDR4 2133 MHz RAM and Gigabyte 980 GTX GPU, which worked fine with your old 5700 Intel chip on the Z270 Asus TUF board. Now that you’ve moved it into the PC bootup, fans are spinning and LEDs are on, but none of your three monitors are displaying anything. The website says it supports up to DDR4 5100 MHz, so your 2133 should be compatible. The GPU is running and fans are active, yet nothing appears on the screens. It might be that the GPU isn’t fully supported by your new CPU and motherboard. I’m planning to get a Gigabyte Radeon 6800 XR tomorrow to verify compatibility. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Best regards, ShermyBoss
Thanks everyone for your assistance. Although the bios update was unusual, I managed to put the file on a USB with fat32 format. I connected it to the PC without power and pressed the flash button on the IO panel. After a few minutes, the PC started but didn’t boot up the screen. It stopped after about ten minutes and then rebooted. Eventually, the display came back online, so I can now play my games again. Thank you all!
