I recently assembled a PC and wasn't sure what to expect. When I pressed the power button, it seemed to boot up, but the fans were spinning without any display appearing. The components I used include a Ryzen 7 8700G CPU, integrated graphics, Corsair Vengeance 16GB RAM (8x2), an A620M H Cooler, a stock Wraith Spire cooler, two fans (one sharkoon brushless DC and another with fractal design), and a 600W EVGA power supply.

Have you checked if the BIOS on your motherboard has been updated? It’s possible the firmware isn’t current with this latest CPU model.

Check the official documentation for your device. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If unsure, contact their support for guidance on updating the BIOS.

It might be that a BIOS update is all that’s needed for compatibility with the new CPU, since the 8700G is a relatively recent model. Fortunately, your motherboard likely has a BIOS Flashback option—use the button near the rear IO as indicated in the manual. The USB port you need to insert is located next to the PS/2 port at the top, according to the instructions. For more details, check the official Aorus YouTube channel, which has a video explaining the process.

@YoungBlade provided a useful tutorial. You just need a USB stick and a copy of Gigabyte's BIOS from their site to get started.
