Was doing same with my other graphics card too

That is my thinking due to the response of things
That’s really odd then.
Just to check when you unplugged did you remove the 8 pin and 4 pin cables from the board? There is residual juice in the PSU so it’s a necessary step. I had issues with my gigabyte board (soft brick) cleared this way.
My process was
Power down, PSU off
Pull power cables from board
Battery out
Short CMOS pins for 60 seconds
Wait 10 mins
Short CMOS pins again
Battery in
Power back to board
PSU on
Boot
Sounds convoluted but did work
After that it’s RMA time

May suggest leaving the cables alone and with the psu off, just hold the power button for a few seconds to drain all residual power.

I will give this a try thanks steThat’s really odd then.

Is it worth taking motherboard out case and booting up separate to make sure it’s not shorting on cass
Soldato
Sure, might aswell as if that don't work it will be going into a box for RMA anyway.
Soldato
If you tried everything else, yes. Might be worth reseating the CPU as well.
Got my replacement board back (Gigabyte K7) over the weekend and my Ryzen system is now running again. However, I now noticed one odd thing after updating the BIOS to F7a - trying to install Windows via UEFI hangs at the blue screen then turns off after half an hour or so. Also, when using Rufus to do a bootable USB that can do both UEFI and legacy, the boot options can only see the legacy option. So decided just to install Windows via the old legacy method and that worked without any issues. Am I going to be missing anything not having a UEFI install? Boot times is still faster than the F4 BIOS + UEFI.

Is that you testing the system without a CPU cooler on? Is that also on the motherboard packaging, where it's not properly insulated?
Soldato
Firstly, you need to get a cpu cooler on it asap!
Secondly get it on a cardbox box and try again.
Associate
It was only quick test gavin that’s why did on the static bag, I can try again on box if need, the only cooler I hav3 is the stock one.
Would I really need just to see if boots up ? As soon as was done it was turned off
Associate
Was unplugged as soon as Done, I can test on cardboard if need and use stock cooler if a must
I was only making sure it didn’t boot
Soldato
Its just bad practice, try again with cooler and on a box.
Removing the battery for 5 mins while doing this wont hurt either.

Sorry for late reply, cinebench ran fine and got a score of 1311

Looks like the board is dead. Good luck getting an rma with a broken usb header though.
