I recently tried to build a new computer, and purchased this motherboard off of newegg. On the ASrock website it lists the cpu as compatible with my motherboard. However, whenever I turn on my PC, all of the fans spin, the gpu comes on, but there is no signal to my monitor. I am wondering if this is because the BIOS isn't up to date, because on PcPartPicker it noted that some 970 motherboards may need a BIOS update before use.
Specs:
FX-8350
ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0 AM3+
Team Elite Plus 16GB (1 stick is from my old PC, one is new)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB (From old PC, with windows 10 from old PC)
GTX 970
If the problem is that my BIOS isn't updated, how can I update it? Should I just return it to Newegg for 85%?
Edit: I forgot to mention, whenever the pc turned on, the usb ports on the I/O of the motherboard would not work.
