So after visiting the computer shop, we had found out that the mobo wasn't working. It was providing power, but I'm going to have to chalk it up to corrupt BIOS or something along those lines. Tried putting an Athlon CPU into the board. Nada... We had tried my CPU and ram in another ATX mobo and it worked fine... All over some restarts in Windows and it causes something catastrophic as this.So I ended up ordering an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-I Gaming from the shop. The new board showed up at the shop 24 hours later, so I brought my computer back and was quickly up and running again.For sure gonna be returning that Gigabyte B450 I back to Amazon. There's one review that was on Amazon saying something along the lines of "The board is great when it works. When it doesn't, you wish you'd have gone with a board that doesn't have such mixed reviews or stay with something that works." In that reviewer's case, he ended up getting the same ASUS B450-I and had no issues whatsoever. He said paying an extra $25 for something that had a better reputation is totally worth it instead of "trying" something new. I 100% agree now...
