motherboard model: ASUS Z590 WIFI gundam edition
Bios version: #811
Processor: i7-11700k
GPU: GTX1660 (OC enabled)
RAM setup: GSKILL ripjawsV DDR4-2400 8Gx2 (F4-2400C15D-16GVR) or DDR4-3200 16Gx2 (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)
Storage: Two M.2 SSDs – one in slot 1, another in slot 3

I’m replacing my computer with this new motherboard and CPU. I can’t access the BIOS and there’s no output at all. When the system powers on, fans, the AIO cooler, and RGB lights activate but nothing else happens. I’ve noticed the 3200 MHz RAM isn’t working and shouldn’t be installed, but the 2400 MHz RAM is also failing. I’ve reinserted the CPU, GPU, and RAM several times, even without the GPU, and shorted the CMOS pins while removing the battery. During startup, the red CPU Q-LED and orange-yellow Dram Q-LED flash for a few seconds before turning off.

I understand the BIOS is outdated and wonder if updating it would resolve this issue. How do you update a BIOS when you can’t even reach it?

Take one of the memory kits, erase the CMOS, and retry. The first attempt should work after a short pause.

It's possible PCIe issues could be interfering with the m.2 drives and preventing them from working properly.

If it appears in the board's release BIOS, it could indicate an issue. It's advisable to verify the support website for any updated BIOS releases.

I've used both separate kits and separate dimmer units.

The bios update shouldn't affect compatibility with the 11 and 10th generation models. It doesn't appear to enable flashback functionality. You might want to test the speaker connection and check for error sounds. Currently, only CPU and memory indicators are visible, not GPU status at startup.

There are no GPU lights visible even when the GPU is connected.

Attempted to skip GPU installation and rely on built-in graphics.

I took out the WD_BLACK SN750 500gb SSD and it worked fine.
