Check if BIOS and GPU are current. Note that Ryzens have strict RAM requirements and often reject Corsair products. They might accept it temporarily but eventually reject it.
5900x receives official support beginning with BIOS version 1F of that board. On the downloads page, it indicates version 1F was released on July 6, 2021. Typically, companies take a month or two to update their motherboards with the newest BIOS versions, so it's likely the board was made in late 2021 and still had an older BIOS installed. The board includes a flash bios button—follow the manual instructions for use. Generally, you download the latest BIOS file (avoid alpha or beta versions), unpack it, and rename it to a compatible format such as MSI.ROM or 7C37.ROM (the 7C37 code identifies this motherboard in all download names). Prepare a USB stick formatted with FAT32, copy the file there, and remove both the video card and processor from the CPU socket. Insert the USB stick into the BIOS programming port as specified in the manual. Press the Flash bios button on the IO shield; you should see lights blink. Wait a few minutes, then disconnect the USB stick, reinstall the CPU, install the cooler, and your BIOS will update. Note that the motherboard contains a microcontroller inside the socket that reads the USB file and applies the changes—removing the CPU is necessary to avoid issues.
I considered how the 3080 works with different systems. It should function properly, but I noticed a B450M Bazooka handling a brand-new GTX1650S without issues, running smoothly with its original GT1030 before failing. This is common on older boards like A320s, but some support newer PCIe devices by removing support for the older ones. I saw an A320 that wouldn’t boot with a brand-new 3600. It turned out the BIOS update for the 3600 stripped PCIe device support, forcing them to upgrade their board to work with other devices since the available updates didn’t cover it.

In fact, I wasn't aware of that until another person here brought it up. I was familiar with BIOS updates for motherboards, but it seems some GPUs also support flashable BIOS.
Hey, looks like your account got banned or deleted, which led me to create a new one. Just wanted to share that the issue was actually a corrupted hard drive. I unplugged all the new drives and turned them back on—suddenly it worked! I was really frustrated but found it pretty easy to fix. Laughed a lot about how simple it was.
I received bans on two posts because the real issue often lies beyond what seems obvious. Sometimes it’s about how signals are handled or misinterpreted by devices. For instance, I’ve noticed my M.2 boot drive isn’t fitting properly in the main slot, or my monitor is misreading the video signal. It keeps labeling the HDMI output from my GPU as DVI-I. When I moved the M.2 to a secondary slot, the display still thought the TUF Gaming splash screen resolution was 640x480 instead of what it should have been. This pattern suggests something more fundamental is going on. I’ve also faced problems with recording gameplay when resolutions don’t align correctly between desktop and game. These issues came up shortly after I purchased the monitor, which makes me wonder if the display itself might be the root cause rather than any fault in my setup.
