You recently assembled your PC but it’s showing only a black screen with no display. The components you listed are installed, including the RGB lights and fans. Please check connections and power supply.

This was my initial reaction... Unfortunately, I'm currently working on obtaining it from someone else. Could you consider alternative suggestions?

It's likely your processor has been updated. This may need changing the BIOS on your motherboard. You can access this using the BIOS flashback feature.

I don’t have a direct link, but I can provide a detailed guide or outline for you. Let me know if you’d like that!

Watch the video instead. Download the latest BIOS from the MSI website, rename it to MSI.ROM on a FAT32 flash drive. Connect it to the USB port nearest the button and... press the button once. The red light should blink for a few minutes. If it stops after a short time, the flash drive might not be formatted correctly or the ROM file isn’t reachable.

Great! You’ll be all set once you’re back. Just remember to use the SD card with your USB adapter.

You can easily find affordable flash drives at most places or borrow one from a friend. Even when many stores are closed, pharmacies still sell them, so it’s not hard to get one.

I'll attempt it once I arrive, which should be in about 2 hours. Appreciate all your assistance! I'll update you soon.

Thank you for your patience. It seems the device took a long time to start. Once you were home and turned it on, it worked properly. The initial issues might have been due to something temporary. Appreciate your understanding!
