New construction, no boot or post required.
This is my first build, and I apologize in advance -- I am a complete rookie. Here is my build list. MB - Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC (rev. 1.4) RAM - Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB) DDR4 CPU - Ryzen 5 4600G GPU - Zotac Gaming RTX 3060 PSU - EVGA 500BR M.2 WD_Black 1TB SSD Was very particular putting this thing together, and i have been through it 4 or 5 times now double checking. When I power on, all the fans come on and run fine. My GPU appears to have some lighting on the outboard face (ZotacGaming logo) but it is not lighting up. When i first powered up, fans cycled on and off a few times, then I got a quick display and it quickly disappeared. Monitor went into standby mode. Let it sit for a few more minutes, nothing happened. pushed the power button to try again, power button wont turn the system off. the only way to turn system off is to switch off the power supply. Today, i put the latest BIOS update on a flash drive and went through the Q-Flash process. LED flashed for a few minutes, and I made sure to give it plenty of time before I removed USB and reassembled. Hooked up to monitor again and Im having the same issue. I was so excited to get into this PC gaming thing, but this is quite discouraging. Any help appreciated. thanks.
Verify your wiring. The front I/O (such as power and reset) uses an 8-pin EPS connection for the CPU at the top-left of the motherboard. Your graphics card ATX 24-pin cable block is properly attached to the PCI-E 8- or 6-pin interface on the motherboard. Ensure the monitor is connected to the back of the RTX 3060, not the back of the motherboard.
I've installed a completely different power supply unit, and everything seems fine. Almost certain I've set up the front panel connections right. I'm connecting the display straight to the GPU. I removed the GPU and attempted to start using only the CPU (built-in graphics).
