Device starts up yet screen remains off.
Hey there, I understand this setup can be tricky. You're using an i5 12600k with a z790-P Wi-Fi chipset and DDR5 RAM, but your CPU has built-in graphics and you're still not seeing anything on the screen when connecting your HDMI. The motherboard shows a green light in BIOS, which usually means it's running properly. Since you've checked the connections and entered BIOS without success, it might be worth trying a different HDMI cable or port, or even testing with another monitor to rule out hardware issues. If the problem persists, there could be a display driver issue or a faulty GPU connection—let me know what you try next!
It seems the motherboard might not have a Q-Code display, which could be very useful right now. If it does, let me know. Otherwise, it looks like the 12th generation might require a newer BIOS for proper operation with the current chipset.
The BIOS isn't available unless you have physical access to the device. If you can't reach it, updating it becomes impossible.
If it's an ASUS motherboard, they typically offer a method to install it using a USB drive created on another machine. For non-ASUS boards, compatibility with the 13th generation CPU is more likely required. Before proceeding with any major changes, double-check everything you connected and installed during setup. Assuming you assemble the system from standard parts, could you share the specific components you have? That would help us provide more targeted assistance.

MSI asks you to start in the BIOS to install an upgrade. Their tool is called M-Flash. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-Z790-P/support I believe the simplest method to update your BIOS is by installing a separate graphics card so you can enter the BIOS. You might be able to go to a repair shop (or contact the original seller to request a BIOS flash). If assistance isn’t available, you could consider requesting a refund or exchange because the board would then be unusable.
Hey everyone, what are we discussing? You don’t need a dedicated GPU to access BIOS, the K series CPUs actually have an integrated GPU. For whatever you’re aiming for, probably focus on troubleshooting other parts since your CPU works with the first BIOS—so you can eliminate compatibility issues. Try taking out RAM modules and verifying power connections, working step by step. Let me know if you need more assistance—I’m available a bit.
