No, I didn't activate it without a CPU installed.

Yes, I only connected the motherboard and GPU, not the CPU power. I didn’t think it would function beyond turning on.

You're dealing with a setup that isn't a Commodore 64, and you're not allowed to power it up without the CPU. The advice came from someone who suggested a BIOS reset as an alternative if the board is designed to detect being powered on without a CPU.

I'll just state it clearly. Based on the image with the arrows you pointed out, that's the explanation. It has nothing to do with whether a chip was in the socket or not. This is the correct way the connectors should be linked (per the manual), and by jumping from a pin on JFP1 to another on JFP2, I'm pretty sure you made a mistake but well done. The process would then be: following the instructions in the manual for an MSI Z690A Pro motherboard—my only choice seems to be submitting an RMA and hoping for approval.
