The technicians say that it needs a BIOS update, and the lesser techie was told to let the greater techie do it, and he comes in on Monday. (The reason I can't do it is that I would have to install a 7000 series CPU, do the update, then put my 9700X back in, and I don't have a 7000 series CPU.

The board is for Ryzen 7000/8000/9000 but was initially released for 7000. I thought I got a rev2 but I got a rev1 and it has an old BIOS.

So the following guesses were wrong:

* Momory mismatch (and misspelling)

* Power supply

* Some cable not seated

* PS or cpu not seated

* Busted motherboard (close)

* Busted CPU

* Jumper slipped out of place

* Standoff in wrong place shorting the motherboard

* CPU pin bent

:) good to hear you are getting it sorted Mike!

my gigabyte board can do what’s called a qflash - it can flash the bios blind without a compatible cpu available, and pc not posting. There’s a physical button to trigger it on the motherboard, assuming you have a usb drive with latest bios on it in the qflash marked usb port.
