Was the CPU in the socket?
Some Ryzen motherboards need a bios update to boot newer Ryzen chips.
Most newer motherboards should have it, but this one may have slipped through the cracks.
Or it's one of the first boards, and was built before the bios update was released.


You might check the revision # on the board, and search the net for which bios version it has.


NOTE: Some boards were made to be able to boot to update firmware -WITHOUT- a CPU.
You might check if ASRock is one that can do this, I don't remember all of the boards that could.

Hopefully it's not DOA.
