From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really weird. Honesty, I currently have no idea how to proceed. Maybe I can google a bit later/tomorrow. But it's not looking good. There doesn't seem to be any good information out there concerning that mainboard an Linux. And since we don't get an error message there isn't a clear thing to begin with.
I would have expected at least something happening on the video. Maybe a few lines of text and then the screen flickering and going to black... But nothing?
yeah, that's the reason I am so desperate ... I understand, so maybe about time to look around for a new mobo?
anyways, I wanted to thank you very much for your time and effort in figuring out and trying to help me, I really do appreciate it very much!
No problem. I wish I could have provided you with a solution. If you have something like a 14 days free return policy, I'd consider returning it. Otherwise, wait a few days before you start thinking about a new motherboard. Maybe someone with a better idea still replies to you.
But I can empathize with your situation. I also used to have hardware that was a mess or didn't work at all. It's just annoying.
No worries, at least you tried and I‘m grateful for it.
One last thing: so you would also go for mobo replacement? In my opinion its uefi/bios and a new mobo should help, but I like having more opinions…
Thank you again for trying
It's likely the mobo. A Ryzen processor and a nvidia 3070 isn't so uncommon. And you already said you updated the BIOS and put quite an amount of effort in.
If you can return it or have a friend in need of a mobo... I'd swap it... However, there is still a possibility that someone reads your post on the weekend and happens to know something more. Or you use Linux in a VM from within Windows. That may work, I don't know you, I wouldn't do it since I use Linux 99% of the time.
Only thing I would advise against is hoping the issue will someday get fixed. In many cases it never happens.
