I've been assembling PCs for a while now and haven't run into many problems. I built this one, faced a few hiccups but managed to get it online. Installed Windows 10, no Ethernet port, attempted driver installs but kept seeing a "Windows not supported" message. Restarted several times without any major issues. Reached out to ASUS live chat, they advised clearing the CMOS. I did that while the device was powered off—now it works fine—but when I try to exit BIOS, I get a black screen. Every time I power it back on, it just displays black. It's a ROG Strix Z690-E with an M.2 slot, 32GB RAM, and the RTX 3060. I suspect it might be related to MOBO.

Check for a BIOS flashback feature in the BIOS settings.

Yes, you can still boot into Windows after reseating components and updating the BIOS.

It installs the BIOS but remains unresponsive, another drive worked, yet it still hangs. Performed a BIOS update, but the problem continues.

In the end I managed to send it via POST and it immediately went to BIOS.

I reordered everything again, but the same problem persists. Chose to return the MOBO and switch boards—it’s on the way. Could it be just the MOBO that’s faulty?

I faced the same problem with Ethernet drivers before. They worked initially but wouldn't update automatically. This wasn't an issue on my Asus motherboard, but it occurred with a Gigabyte board. I also updated the BIOS. My setup was a fresh Windows 10 installation. I downloaded drivers from another PC and still couldn't get them. I had to install them manually using the zip file. After that, I ran Windows Update for all patches. Now I'm using Windows 11 and haven't experienced the same Ethernet problems.

I might opt for the free upgrade, but I still had to file a return request because it wouldn't let me access any storage.

New board issue. Same error appears, but no details available. Suggested models: A6 or Ad. Picture upload needed. BIOS freeze reported. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
