See bluebarracuda, this is why I'll never own a board that doesn't have debug lights 
I know it's super basic, but have you unplugged and plugged back in every single cable, both at the psu and at the component/board?
And are you super extra sure you flashed the correct bios? Before you said you used qflash, my first step was going to be to ask whether you had updated your bios to one that supported Zen 3.

My 6700xt is doing the same thing but I can’t get a display on any computer. It was on a riser mining. The system crashed and never came back on so I got to plugging and unplugging components while troubleshooting and long story short, I might’ve plugged in a riser backwards onto to the motherboard while troubleshooting. It’s weird though because I never got a reaction from doing so. Burning smell, smoke, capacitor pops, etc.
going to be real hard to become profitable mining now

Riser cables are keyed, just like RAM. How can you possibly plug it in backwards?
And I mean that literally: I actually don't understand how this is physically possible

I flashed to the latest BIOS. I'm thinking about taking the BIOS down to F30 as that was the initial flash for the CPU. At this point I almost think it's the motherboard.
And I agree about no debug lights. I've wanted to build a mini-ITX build for a while so I knew there might be a compromise or two. One of which was getting a small enough video card and even then fitting the video card into the case.

You sound like you've done pretty much every reasonable troubleshooting step, which usually means motherboard is likely :/

Yeah. I've been assembling PCs for a long time. I've never encountered problems like this. My first AMD build too. Intel builds always worked perfectly.

Likely just bad luck. The days of AMD having shitty bios/drivers are long past. Unless you managed to damage one of the cpu pins during installation, there's nothing really unique about AMD that would be causing you issues.
With that said, to ask another bordering on insultingly mundane question: did you watch any videos on installing a cpu in the AM4 chipset?

No worries. Yes, I've watched quite a few videos. No bent pins. I've also watched the videos on how to remove an AMD CPU from the cooler as it seems to be common for them (for lack of a better word) to fuse together.

Risers use x1 plugs. They’re very easy to get backwards in an x16 slot if you’re not paying attention.

We must be talking about two different things.
My riser cable is the cat on the left:
What does yours look like?

Honest question: is there a reason you would drop an x16 card to x1 like that?
I’ve obviously heard of x4 and x1 devices, and I’ve heard of running GPUs x8, but this is an utterly new concept to me

Oh frick me…
Ok, yeah, just ignore me
Eta: Now I can completely see how you put it in backwards. Though I imagine you can see how I was confused as frick thinking you had managed to put a x16 riser in backwards

Have y’all ever used a GPU repair service?
Posted on 8/16/21 at 1:00 pm to finchmeister08
Just throw it in the oven, you'll be fine.

i've seen people on YouTube do this. i don't trust it.
Posted on 8/16/21 at 1:04 pm to finchmeister08
That's probably what that repair place is doing

let's hope not.
i did find Prime Tech Solutions in miami, but i wanted to see what this local place can do first. hopefully, they don't make it worse than it is.

Issue was a partially DOA motherboard. Now I can finish my build.
