I've built a new Gaming PC with the following specs:
==========================================================================
CPU: i9-13900K
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero
Memory: Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RGB (2X32GB) 5600MT/s kit (KF556C40BBSK2-64)
Storage: SABRANT Rocket 4 Plus-G 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD (SB-RKTG-2TB)
GPU: ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTC 3090 Gaming - PCIe 4.0, 24GB OC
AIO: NZXT Kraken Z73 RGB 360mm
PSU: ASUS Thor 1000 Platimun II
============================================================================
When I tried to give it the first run, the MB showed "d6" error code with VGA and Boot lights solid on and no display on my monitor.
I searched the internet about this 'd6' problem and most of the answers are related to GPU compatibility which I have no problem with as mine is compatible when I double-checked it on partpicker.com but
So, I removed the GPU and tried to rerun it on MB built-in HDMI, but no luck. I was still stuck on "d6" with no display.
I checked all the PSU cables and reconnect them again to the MB and changed the HDMI cable with a new one, still stuck on "d6".
I tried to clear the CMOS from the Clear CMOS back button since there is no display on my monitor, and it didn't work either.
I reseated the CPU twice making sure that I have no bent pins, of course, I used a magnifier, still stuck on "d6" and no display.
I reseated the RAM and I tested both sticks individually to check if one of the RAM sticks is faulty and may cause this issue, but same results, stuck on "d6" with no display on the monitor.
I also tried to reseat the SSD on a different M.2 slot, still stuck on "d6" with no display.
I'm so frustrated with the MB and I think I'll return back despite for waiting it to arrive to my home country for a whole month ☹️
If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, please help me as I don't want to order another MB and wait for another month to get it.
I appreciate all the suggestions you may have for me. 🙏
Thank y'all

yes, I also think the bios is the problem! remember to rename the bios file before using the flashback port

I think the problem is that it doesn't have the latest bios for the 13900k

I don't know.
is there any way to update the BIOS in this case? without using a monitor?

Yes, you can use the flashback port. Take a look at the manual or find a Youtube guide. If it's the BIOS, the latest version should get you up and running.
