So i just bought a new motherboard, Msi z690-a pro, and a new cpu, i7-13700k, and new ram but I cant get an image to my screen, I have a 650w psu and a rtx 3070. Everything seems to be pluged in correctly and the computer will start, it just wont appear an image. I’ve re connected all wires a couple of times, checked the cpu socket for bent pins and such but I cant find anything wrong. I’ve tried clearing the bios and resetting the cmos aswell. Do I need to do a bios update? And if so how can I do that with a black screen? Sometimes after I’ve pushed the power button and I want to turn it off, it automaticly restarts itself. There is also a red light on the CPU lightning sensor on the motherboard and a yellow light at the dram sensor. All fans are spinning.

You most likely need to update the bios before it supports the 13th gen cpu. Look on page 30 of the manual and it will tell you how to update the bios without cpu and ram installed.
