System is:

Aorus B450 Pro Wifi ITX
Ryzen 3600
Corsair RGB Pro 3200
Zotac 2070 Super

Built yesterday and booted first time, installed windows, doing all it's updates.

Rather foolishly (I think) I did a BIOS update in windows using the Gigabyte tool and it's not worked since. I was on F40 and I think it was updating to F41.. something like that. I had thought that in the 8 years or whatever it is since I last built a PC BIOS flashing in windows might be more stable.

Now when I switch on the GPU fans spin up to full, there's no vide (but the display does "bloop" and stutters for a second like it knows it's seen an input. Kraken pump and RGB ram all lights up etc.

The GPU sounds like it's about to take off... but then nothing.

Interestingly if I press the power button (NZXT H200) it doesn't power down, it just flashes white.. tried holding it down for like 20 seconds on first boot as I read that might invoke the gigabyte dual BIOS thing.

Tried it without a GPU in (I know I don't have on board, just to see if it did anything different) tried with single stick of RAM, no RAM, reseated the GPU and tried shorting the CMOS pins with a screwdriver.

All making no difference.

Any ideas?
 
Ther s also a blue flashing light on the end of the GPU when the system is on. When I power off the display (Samsung TV) also boops to say it's knows an input has gone away if that makes sense.
 
Fixed it! As it turns out the gigabyte windows tool "updates" you to F32 which isn't compatible with the 3600.

Genius. Put the old CPU back in and flashed back to the latest and all working fine now :)
