My motherboard stopped working, so my PC wouldn’t power on. I replaced it with a new one, but it still won’t show anything and the GPU isn’t functioning. I’ve tested all connections and repeated the process several times without success. Also, the keyboard doesn’t light up even when plugged in. My ASUS Prime b450m-a II is the model.

What graphics card is connected, and are all power connectors securely attached to the GPU? Also, does the GPU fit correctly into its PCIe slot?

I’m confident everything is connected properly. My older RX 580 works fine, showing lights when plugged in. The GT730 runs without any power cables and spins its fans briefly before stopping. The XT6700 seems to have issues even with a working setup.

I think you need to update the BIOS. That's problematic as you need an older gen CPU to do so. I have a Prime B450-Plus board with the same problem when using my 3700X. The board lights up and the CPU fan spins but no video output. It says 3000 and 5000 series ready on the box but it seems it isn't and reviews @ Amazon indicates that as well.. I've ordered a used Athlon 200GE to use to update the BIOS. BTW are you sure the old board is dead? Have you tried clearing CMOS. I bought a used h87 board recently which seemed stone dead on arrival but after clearing CMOS it worked just fine. Likewise I bought a Asrock B450 Steel Legend board which was advertised as not working for about 40 bucks along with a Ryzen 1600. I looked up the board and found that the 1600 was not supported. Then I got a 2600 for it and it works great. Also sold the 1600 for 45 bucks. The point being that just because a board seems dead doesn't necessarily mean it is.

I'll give it another shot! I've tested the CMOS on the old motherboard several times and kept getting factory resets, saying it couldn't detect any cards. After that, my PC would shut down after a few days and wouldn't boot, which I thought might be a motherboard issue.
