So I recently bought myself a Ryzen 7 2700x and an Aorus Ultra Gaming x470 mobo. After putting it all together and finally plugging it in I got no signal in my desktop and noticed a red cpu light on my mobo.All the fans work, the cpu fan and egg lightning comes on. I know it is either the mobo or cpu because I used the pc just a couple of hours before the upgrade. I checked the pins on the cpu and they're okay. I reset the mobo and checked all the cables, the ram is also compatible. Help would be much appreciated. And I already checked the post, if you're thinking I'm not, didn't help
My pc specs are:
CPU:Ryzen 7 2700x
GPU:Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Mobo:x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
Ram:1×8GB HyperX Fury

I was sure, the MB should've been 'Ryzen 2xxx ready". But it wasn't. After 30$ and a visit to a local pc shop I got my BIOS updated and it works now.

Yeah, unfortunately, I was up the whole night troubleshooting. And in the end it was just Gigabyte being retarded and stating that the MOBOS are Ryzen 7 2xxx ready.
