Just finished replacing the motherboard, processor and RAM in my PC.
Machine powers up, QLEDs go through the red, orange (slow, but goes off), white then sticks on the green Boot. Does not get any further. Mashing the del/F2 key at startup gets nowhere - no BIOS etc.
Machine components are:-
B760F; Intel I7-14700KF; Corsair Vengence RAM (already replaced by supplier to ensure it's compatible), Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti (in PCIe-3 slot - though makes no difference in PCIe 5 slot as it works there too).
RAM in A2 & B2 slots (tried them all - but working on the principle that it clears RAM check so must be ok).
WD Blue M2.ssd (x2).
Corsair H100i liquid cooling, Corsair 750w power supply
Nothing else plugged in, other than USB keyboard/Mouse.
It's the latest version of the B760F - box states it's ready for 14th gen CPU so my assumption is that BIOS must be up to date, otherwise I'm stuffed - I don't know anyone with a prior version CPU and I'm not planning on buying a 13th gen just to fix this (the MB will go back and I'll buy Gigabyte instead!)
Any clues?

fixed - needed a BIOS update and oddly it worked (who knew you could update a bios without a "supported CPU")...

Hello @trevorb999 ,
We apologize for the delayed response but are pleased to see that the issue has been resolved with the BIOS update.
Could you please clarify what is meant by "without a 'supported CPU'" as mentioned?
According to the CPU QVL for the ROG STRIX B760-F GAMING WIFI, the i7-14700KF is listed and has been validated since BIOS version 1205.
For newly built systems, please ensure to update the motherboard to BIOS version 1205 or later and clear CMOS to ensure hardware compatibility and stability.
Additionally, this motherboard supports BIOS updates via BIOS FlashBack, kindly refer to [Motherboard] How to use USB BIOS FlashBack™? if needed.
Thank you.
