Just tried again and now can’t boot up comes up no signal which is making me think the motherboard is faulty.
Never had issues like this before, when paying good money too

Try a different graphics card if you have one. You mentioned you recently switched.
 
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 :(

Is it worth taking motherboard out case and booting up separate to make sure it’s not shorting on cass

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?

Firstly, you need to get a cpu cooler on it asap!
Secondly get it on a cardbox box and try again.

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

Would be interested to know if it works with Cinebench...although as people say, as long as you can use the PC for everything you do on it and it works then should be fine!

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