CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - 4.7GHz/5.3GHz AM5

Motherboard
Asrock X670E PRO RS
BIOS version: 1.03

Memory
Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL32 FURY Renegade RGB
KF560C32RSAK2-32

M.2
2xKingston NV2 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 2TB
SNV2S/2000G
1xKingston NV2 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 1TB
SNV2S/1000G

GPU
MSI AMD RADEON RX 6600 XT

PSU
CORSAIR HXi Series HX1000i
Cooler
Noctua NH-D15 chromax

All parts are brand new except GPU which was bought pre owned. assembled this weekend 18-19/3 2023.

I can access BIOS after boot, I see all my hardware listed.

<Reboot.>

I put bootable USB into port of motherboard.
<Press F11> To boot, find my drive, press enter.

Screen goes black (signla still but nothing posting) and:
Post Status Checker gives solid red on:
BOOT [x]
VGA [x]
DRAM []
CPU []
BOOT & VGA (and DRAM,CPU) are all off when in bios, but BOOT & VGA always turn solid red after boot.

I have tried booting repetead times, created new bootable devices.
My main bootable was a Ventoy with windos 10 ISO on, tried with fresh bootable linux Arch.
Get same result after pressing F11 I can choose my bootable USB, press ENTER and "nothing happens" nothing posts or loads.

Downloaded the latest BIOS update (1.18) and put it on a seperate USB, booted up and went to update the BIOS. This results in the UPDATE freezing at 0% no progress after 30min. Power off, boot up and try again, same result, freezing at 0% I can not manouver mouse or keyboard. Power off.

I have reseated everyting, even CPU, after this and a couple of boots I actually had a successfull boot with the USB running ventoy and win 10 ISO.
Get to update part where it will need to reboot in order to continue.
After this i CHECK BIOS so the windows bootable disc now is the first bootabel M2 disc.

Get no boot and:
Post Status Checker gives solid red on:
BOOT [x]
VGA [x]
DRAM []
CPU []

I now tried just running single memory and just one m2 but I'm again stuck at the same step, It wont boot past BIOS.

I forgot to mention that in between one of many tries to boot i did create a new USB for Flashback of BIOS using 1.18, rename the .ROM file to CREATIVE.ROM.
I place it in Flashback supported USB port and hold the button in for several seconds, I see that USB flashed and then the lgith for BIOS Update which should be flashing gives of solid light, indicating it not updating or accepting file.

I have tried updating to 1.07 but get the same freeze at 0% and no progress over 30min.

I am at a loss I dont really know whats going on and it feels like I have tried everyting.

Is it faulty or what can be the issue here?

Thanks to anyone who can shine some insight to my issue.

Disconenct all hardware, and check the pins in the CPU socket, then sue another FAT formatted USB stick, preferably a small one of 4GB, because bigger ones sometimes pose a problem
Then use only 1 memory module in Slot A2, and connect a monitor to the onboard graphics, and of course both cables from the PSU.
Important is, to use Wired USB keyboard and mosue, because the Wirelss USB dongles, can distort all USB communication
Or use the tech support form, and check Your spam folder for replies.

Thanks for your response, have tried this and no success. Can't se that any pins should be the issue eiter from my visual inspection and with photos taken with macro lens.

To update I have an RMA with the vendor from which i bought the board and it has been shipped today as an RMA, waiting for update on my RMA now.
