Hello everyone, I've just finished setting up the pre-build test workbench and connected my system to the PSU. I turned everything on and checked the motherboard for proper operation as well as the display. The screen functions well; I can reach BIOS and it displays the ROG STRIX logo during startup. However, it appears the system encountered an error while booting. The green QLED indicator on the motherboard has activated ("BOOT" is next to it, suggesting a boot-related message), but I'm uncertain if this is typical. Most users with similar issues either have no display at all—even when connected to their GPU—or are still awaiting responses from posts made two years ago. I've double-checked my M.2 SSD (Samsung NVMe 980), switched it from a 4.0 to a 3.0 M.2 slot, and tried other adjustments, but nothing resolved the problem so far. Since I haven't installed Windows yet on the motherboard, it's hard to confirm if this is the root cause, as everything appears normal in BIOS. If anyone has faced this or knows potential causes, please share your insights!

I realized my mistake, but I was just too lazy to download an OS before tackling the boot issue. I just put a Windows 10 USB in, installed it, and the green light disappeared!
