Make sure you have minimum BIOS version F2 installed on your Motherboard to make the Ryzen 2700x work. X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

first of all thank you very much for your reply

isn't the x470 bios supports 2700x by default ? .. anyway even if i wanted to upgrade bios i can't ,,, it doesent show any options and does not boot or even shows anything ... the screen is black as if it's not connected at all ... even the keyboard dosen't power up

is there anyway to upgrade bios without starting the PC or bios ?

i also tried CMOS reset ..

i did try to connect the ram on other slots it didn't work

i'm sure everything is connected right ... i tried with the cpu 8pins and motherboard power only connected ... same E8 error

the damage on the edge ... i don't see that it's on trace or above pin

here are some close ups for it
