Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a frustrating issue after building my mini-ITX system in a Fractal Terra case. Despite using all new components and checking the connections multiple times, my system won't post. I've even flashed the BIOS to make sure it recognizes my new Ryzen 5 9600X CPU. The fans are spinning, but I get no signal on any monitor. Here's what I'm working with: AORUS 650-I Ultra motherboard, Ryzen 5 9600X, PNY RTX 5060 Ti, ThermalTake Toughpower SFX 750W PSU, SK Hynix Platinum P41 M.2 SSD, and 32 GB of Crucial DDR5 RAM. My boyfriend and I are getting a bit desperate here, any guidance would be immensely appreciated!

Have you tried unplugging the GPU completely? Remove it from the slot and power, then test it using the integrated graphics. Sometimes the PSU or BIOS needs an update to support newer CPUs; the 9600X can be a tricky one on B650 boards right out of the box.
It's good that you flashed it, but just to clarify, make sure that all connections to the motherboard are secure!
First off, double-check that the BIOS flash was truly successful. Make sure you followed the motherboard instructions carefully. Also, give it some time to POST; sometimes RAM training can take a few minutes, up to 5 in some cases. Don't lose hope just yet!
Yeah, I think it's worth waiting a little longer just in case the system is still trying to get going. Did you confirm everything was done right in the manual?
I fully agree about waiting. I had a similar issue where the system took a while to start up!
I already tried booting with the iGPU after unplugging it from everything, and that didn’t do the trick either. But yeah, I made sure to flash it beforehand to avoid compatibility issues.
