I've inspected the cables and checked the RAM—no errors are showing or lights are on. However, when I connect my keyboard and mouse, the RGB lights don't activate. It seems they might not be working. I'm unsure what to do next. My system specs are: Mobo: Asus Prime B450 Plus, GPU: MSI Gaming Trio X 3060 Ti, CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

OS: I haven't installed it yet, but I'm planning to use Windows 11 64-bit with a PSU of 750 watts.

It might be useful to connect a PC speaker, since the system displays warning messages. Refer to the article for details on ASUS beep codes.

Did you refresh the BIOS settings? The Ryzen 5000 requires BIOS version 3211 or higher to function properly. This indicates the motherboard probably came with a previous BIOS release.

These older boards are inexpensive today mainly because they require a compatible CPU to address the issue. Despite their age, a very old supported CPU shouldn't be expensive.

Sure. AMD might actually provide you with a Ryzen 1200 chip at no cost so you could upgrade the BIOS to accommodate a 5000 series processor, provided you return the CPU afterward. I’m not sure if they still offer this service.

The exciting aspect is that certain boards removed support for older chips in a BIOS update you must install to enable the latest processors, which can lead to needing three different CPUs if you already have an A-series chip installed.
