Updated the motherboard and installed a new CPU (ASUS TUF Z790 DDR5 V2, Intel 14700K). However, everything seems to start only when I power it on—fans speed up and slow down erratically, and the "CPU" red light keeps blinking. No output appears on the monitors. Need help? File: V_20231127_155430_ES3.mp4 Edit: I also checked with a different CPU (13600K) and got the same issue. Also noticed two RAM slots failed when testing another motherboard. Sorry for missing details, I’m not great at this.

I can help you find the motherboard specifications, but I don’t have direct access to link external pages. You’ll need to check the official BIOS documentation or manufacturer site for the exact model and compatibility details. If you’re using a TUF Pro, it should work without issues.

There’s no verification about the box supporting 14th gen. The latest ASUS BIOS info starts at 1205, launched in June.

I didn't notice any changes; performance remained consistent across different configurations. The CPU also worked fine even when using more than 2GB of RAM.

Typically the problem lies in a cooler mount—like inconsistent pressure or pin alignment—or improper placement of the RAM. It doesn’t seem to be related to BIOS compatibility.
