Device powered up, yet screen remains empty.
I just assembled a new PC today. It’s a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX Rev 1.1 equipped with a 5600G processor and Corsair Vengeance RGB 3600Mhz C16 chipset. No graphics card was included. The system uses a Platinum 560W power supply connected to an UPS. I updated the BIOS to the latest release. After that, I installed Windows 11 Pro and downloaded all the necessary drivers from Gigabyte’s site so I could download updates and internet access. The installation process caused the computer to restart several times. I also installed Gigabyte Fusion RGB and Corsair Icue for motherboard and RAM diagnostics, as well as Core Temp and CPU-Z for performance monitoring. During setup, the processor idle temperature was 32°C and RAM was running at its default speed of 3200MHz. I discovered Goodgame Empire was already installed after using Core Temp. To clean up, I removed the RAM, disconnected the keyboard and mouse, and all connected USB devices to prevent the PC from recognizing them as boot devices. I cleared the CMOS by touching the two-pin jumper with a screwdriver; however, the CMOS battery is not accessible since it’s behind an unremovable IO panel cover. I then installed the GPU and connected it to another monitor using a different HDMI cable.
I encountered an issue and needed to keep my clear CMOS button for about 30 seconds before it resolved.
I don’t recognize the CMOS button. I’ve pressed the jumper pins for over 30 seconds. I tried taking out the power cord already. It seems the BIOS might have triggered the issue or something got damaged by radiation. Before re-flashing, I need to confirm the required BIOS version. For example, does 5600G require AGESA V2 1.2.0.8? And what about 1.2.0.7?
After assembling the PC, I first updated the BIOS to the newest release, version F17b, which includes AGESA V2 1.2.0.8. It’s not clear if this specific version is required for the 5600G, since the documentation mentions 1.2.0.8 is intended for the 5800X3D. The motherboard ships with a F15 BIOS containing AGESA 1.2.0.5, and any subsequent BIOS releases have "b" or "e" appended to denote beta or experimental status. This pattern suggests that F15 represents the final stable release, while later versions are labeled as beta or experimental.
