I recently updated my CPU/GPU to the following

AMD Ryzen 5600 6 core AM4
Radeon 6700xt GFX card

The rest of the specs look like this:
Gigabyte AB350 gaming motherboard
16GB Team group vulcan RAM
Samsung evo 850 250gb
Samsung evo 840 250gb

I simply took out the old Ryzen 5 1500x and GTX 1060, reconnected up and now when i press the power button the PC appears to start but i get no display. Even if i put the old components back in now i get exactly the same problem.
Ive tried using only a single ram stick and ive also removed all the excess storage drives all with the same result. Its making me think that the motherboard has somehow died a death, but i dont know if there is some way i can confirm for that thats the problem without actually replacing it - does anyone have any ideas?
 
Yeah i tried removing the battery, and resetting cmos by jumping the connector also with no joy.
I did wonder if the bios was the problem but i now cant get in there as i get no display signal at all even with all the old components back in
 
I managed to get it back working the old components in and update bios to the latest version f51l - then as soon as i put the new cpu on its the same problem. I actually found a thread somewhere on reddit i think that said the version 1.0 needs a VRM rework and for that it would need to go to gigabyte - im starting to think replacing it might be the most straight forward option!

Interesting, i think i went straight from f51c to f51l but there are a couple of releases between them so i will roll back to the old version then do them one at a time
 
No joy unfortunately, rolled back to the old bios version, then ran updates for both chipset and bios one increment at time to end up back with my blank screen.
