Z890 Pro RS WiFi no boot

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello. I am putting together a new build on an ASRock Z890 Pro RS WiFi. Unfortunately it will not post. At first I thought I just needed to update the BIOS to get the board to recognize the CPU, but even after trying to update the BIOS using the Flashback feature I get the same results. 

Board shipped with BIOS 1.39. I attempted to flash 3.11 to it.

Other components:
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF
Cooler: Montech 240 AIO
RAM: Team T-Force Delta RGB(2 x 16GB) DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200)
GPU: EVGA RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
Boot drive(s): I?�ve tried it with a MSI NVMe and a boot disk flash drive. It never gets to this point in the startup. 

When attempting to boot, fans/everything-RGB fires up, AIO pump is on, no boot. I have tried multiple configurations. Here are the diagnostic LED indicators for each:

1) All components installed: 
VGA lit
BOOT lit

2) All components, but only one stick of RAM (in A2):
VGA lit
BOOT lit

3) Just CPU and one stick of RAM:
VGA lit
BOOT lit

4) Just CPU
DRAM lit
VGA lit
BOOT lit

I think the chipset was dead on arrival, but I wanted  to see if anyone has any other ideas/things to try.

Any advice?
