OMPONENTS

Thermaltake V250 medium ATX case

EVGA 600W 80 plus certified power supply

MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) M.2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 DDR4 HDMI DVI CFX ATX Z390 Gaming Motherboard (Renewed)

  1. Intel core i-7 9700k 8cores 4.9ghz 95w 3Corsair Vengeance lpx 16gb(2x8) ddr4 3000mhz
  2. Cooler Master Liquid LC120E RGB CPU cooler
  3. MSI-NVIDIA Geoforce GTX 1650 super 4GB GDDR6 PCI-e GPU
  4. WD-BLACK SN750 nvme SSD 500gb internal PCI-e

 

At first I didnt have the GPU and I thought the integrated graphics in the Intel i-7 processor would work but after turning on the computer the display was covered with horizontal colored lines and then the display went black( pictures attached ) and I cant even boot up to the BIOS to flash the updated BIOS.My motherboard doesn't have a hardware bios key to reflash without CPU. I've tried everything on the internet. disconnect power, cmos battery and hold power for 5 sec, remove the ram sticks , swapped hdmi cords.This is my first ever build, I verified that the CPU was installed correctly.What I'm I doing wrong , is one of the parts not compatible?

(Renewed) motherboard, does this mean it is a refurbished board?

 

Have you plugged the display into the motherboard or GPU?

 

Do you have the 6 pin power connection connected to the GPU?

Yes, 'renewed' is Amazon's way of saying 'refurbished' -- which is my way of saying 'likely defective'.
