System fails to start. Attempting to refresh BIOS settings.
You're dealing with a setup that requires careful configuration. The BIOS needs to be updated before the system boots, and your current setup seems to have some compatibility issues. It looks like you're using an EVGA Z690 dark pro board with a 13900K GPU, but the motherboard only shows double zero in the readout. The G7400 CPU from eBay is likely not compatible with this setup. You might need to verify the BIOS version, ensure the power supply is brand new, and check if the motherboard supports the 13900K. Also, confirm the correct GPU model and power configuration before proceeding.
I understand that for ASUS motherboards, the 00 POST code usually indicates a dead CPU. This seems to apply to the Z690 Kingpin, but I couldn't find any details about the Z690 Dark Pro. If it's a Kingpin, you might be able to update the BIOS without installing the CPU—refer to page 147 of the manual for more info.
It was a weak CPU. I installed the 13900K to check if performance improved. Now I have a 12, likely due to a BIOS issue. I’m not sure about updating the BIOS without the CPU. The EVGA display isn’t clear enough for me. If you visit the forum, you might see similar problems. Got it. Intel friends Media Server CPU is 12600K and I’ve loaded the BIOS.
