The new PC setup isn't recognizing the VGA light in BIOS.
The new PC setup isn't recognizing the VGA light in BIOS.
You just assembled a PC for the first time and everything seems to work, but it won’t boot into BIOS. The AMI screen stays on, then prompts for setup but doesn’t enter. Your motherboard (B850 X Gaming Wi-Fi 6E) shows the VGA light, and after reinstalling the graphics card and RAM, all cables look fine. You’re using a 1660 Super and a Ryzen 5 9600X—please let me know what’s happening.
Is the 1660 Super new or used? This often occurs due to problems with the GPU or its connection to the motherboard. It might sound annoying, but try re-seating it carefully and ensure you hear the click. Look for any other components or cables blocking its path to the motherboard, then inspect the power connector for the GPU and the PSU, as they can sometimes become loose.
It's a used card, thank you for your support. I'll check if it works.
It isn’t making any progress; it continues to perform the same action I expected. Perhaps holding patience through the initial loading will help it function properly.
You should start with some basic troubleshooting. Have you attempted to reset your CMOS? Turn off the device and remove the CMOS battery for a short period if your board lacks a dedicated reset button. You can also try launching it with just one RAM stick active at a time. Another potential issue is that your motherboard BIOS isn't current, especially since the 9000 series chips are recent—flashing the latest BIOS on the motherboard might seem daunting but is straightforward once you follow the guidelines. There are many helpful video tutorials online that walk through this process and it usually takes only a few minutes.
I finally understood what was happening, but I don’t know why the installation keeps showing errors. It often leads to a message about upgrading, then displays a progress bar at around 10% before failing.
It might be due to problems with the hard drive, USB boot device, or RAM. Consider checking for a corrupted installation file on the loader, create a fresh USB bootloader, format it as FAT32 first, and attempt again.
