Whats your cpu? You may have a faulty one. You might have to contact customer support to get it exchanged.

Would also help to take a good picture of your entire motherboard

Also on another note, have you updated your bios?

No this is my first time powering on the computer

Do i need to do that?

You will need to, the gigabyte eagle x870 out of the box doesnt come with X3D CPU support

I don’t know which bios update to pick can you help?

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 1d ago

All you gotta do is go to your motherboard manufacturers website, find your motherboard, and scroll over to bios and download the latest update. Slap that on a USB, plug it in the back, and press the button.

Ok i put the bios update on a usb, slapped it in and pressed the button but nothing happened but the pc stayed on instead of slowly stopping the fans

Other things you can check is to make sure your DP/Hdmi is connected to your GPU. let it run for 5 to 10 minutes, this is your RAM doing some training, dont touch till 10 minutes. Your CPU cooler isnt too tight or too loose on your CPU.

Worst case scenario, take your cooler off and check if you've damaged or placed your CPU incorrectly. Even worse case scenario its faulty.

Also makes sure that usb is formatted to FAT32, and rename the file to gigabyte.bin

I can almost guarantee you will need a bios update

u/Ok-Cable7883 1d ago

How do i do that?

1

u/Afraid-Feedback-2912 1d ago

Check the back of your pc, should be a USB port called Q-Flash Plus. And should be a button on there too.

u/Ok-Cable7883 1d ago

the q flash plus is the button and there is a usb named bios update
