AMD MOTHERBOARD TROUBLESHOOT

Yesterday i installed my new b450 fatal1ty motherboard with my ryzen 5 2600 but with no windows in. When i power it on and i press f2 or del to go into bios settings a new black screen pops up and it stays there and don't display anything. Maybe i have to install some windows first?

Hello there. I have been having problems with my B450M Pro4 motherboard. When i boot, it brings me to the ASRock splashscreen with option for F2 F11 Del and Tab but i can only input Tab, but after that. No other input is recognized. If anyone can, could someone explain why this is happening. At boot, the cursur blinks for a second but no POST test is shown.

Specs:
AMD RYZEN 5 2600 3.6GHZ

1x16 GB Forza Ram stick

MSI Geforce GTX 1650 Graphics card

I have a dvd drive connected

I have no drivers installed.

CMOS reset = Clear CMOS

Manual:

2.5 Jumpers Setup

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, and user default profile will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed. Please remember to remove the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS

That is really strange.
And you put the radeon in the first 3.0 x16 slot near the CPU, i guess.

If you have access to another graphics card, you should use it just for a test instead of the your radeon.

what i still dont get is why my pc would freeze at the splash screen when number lock is enabled
