The specs show an R5 2600 with 16GB RAM, 6750 xt, 750W power, SSD and HDD included. The story goes like this: I was really confused when I first got the machine. Tried various GPUs, removed all drives, rewired components, and did a lot of troubleshooting. Eventually, someone let me test their 3600 CPU and it worked! I thought my CPU might be dead, so I rebuilt the system with a new one. After some effort, the system booted back up, ran overclocking, used XMP profiles, and played Red Dead without issues. It’s been working well for about a month and a half. Unfortunately, the person who helped isn’t available anymore, leaving me stuck with the VGA light. I have enough BIOS updates to support a 5000 series CPU, so I’m wondering if the issue was with the BIOS instead of the hardware. Thanks for reading!

Check for the newest BIOS update; it might fix some issues.

I faced quite similar problems with the build I assembled for my son. The motherboard is an Asus B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi, but it wouldn't work no matter what I tried. Several forum members helped—thank you! They advised checking the BIOS, which resolved the issue. After that, the setup became much smoother except for a persistent Windows activation problem. Once everything was in place, the machine functioned perfectly. I left the activation bug to him since it was his device, and I paid for all the components. Good luck!
