...PROBLEM SOLVED...
Found out the hard way that the RAM was not inserted in the correct slots.
I had my two sticks of RAM in slots 1 and 3 and apparently that is WRONG and because of this thing alone, BIOS would NOT post anything.
If you only have 2 sticks and 4 slots, you must place your RAM in slots 2 and 4.
Which is crazy, obviously i would have never thought of this.
WHO in the world does that? apparently AMD...
And the crazier thing is, why not post anything to the screen, like HEY, NO RAM, give me a clue about RAM...
But NO, nothing, no message nothing... i think that is just bad design and bad decisions...

THEN.... after installing Windows 11 Pro, with Product Key and all, some of the drivers could not be installed.
Windows was not finding them, and even the ASUS web site did not have the drivers needed...
This was especially for the WIFI network drivers... (so first i had to plug in the Ethernet internet cable, obviously)
The only way that i was able to get the WIFI drivers installed was thru Armoury-Crate... and that took forever,
cause the installation and updates to this Armoury Crate program took forever, almost thought it froze and
will never recover....
Oh in the end the very very very end, i was finally able to find the location in Armoury Crate where i could see the WIFI driver option,
and that took a while, and a few restarts...
What a heck man? I never had any issues like this with Intel.... not that Intel has all their eggs together either, but man, it is 2024 and all things supposedly are plug and play, and drivers are all online, etc...
I cant believe we still have to struggle with minor things like this...
I feel like back in the '90s when the message told you to get on the internet to get NETWORK DRIVERS....
Well, how the heck do i access internet without internet drivers ? DUH... 😉
