Hello everyone, after upgrading the BIOS I still have a dead system. What else can I do? Or is one of the parts broken?
The system:
ASRock DeskMini X600
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
Noctua NH-L9a-AM5
Kingston Technology KVR56S46BD8-48 SODIMM DDR5-5600 (2x)
WD Black SN850X 4TB NVMe M.2 80mm PCIe G4 (1x) for OS's
The procedure followed:
See https://vanderworp.org/amd-9700x-and-deskmini-x600/" rel="nofollow - https://vanderworp.org/amd-9700x-and-deskmini-x600/
I've repeated it 4 times, at some point writing the BIOS image is finished when the blue power LED stops blinking and remains on. Rebooting: nothing, no screen, no keyboard, ventilator running and the power LED continuously on.
Suggestions more than welcome!

What exactly went wrong, I don't know but I had to flash the BIOS eight times, with four different USB flash drives, clearing the BIOS again and again, switching USB ports. Different power supplies and even taking everything apart again, checking the pins of the CPU, the contacts of the DDR5 modules, switching NVME. I had almost given up and then, suddenly, I saw a hard disk LED flickering. The BIOS update had succeeded after all. Why was it so difficult? I have no idea.
Really frustrating but a happy end!
