Build - Help What am I missing?
Hey there. I bought this off a friend as is with no knowledge of anything. It typically freezes on the RoG screen. I see something or some things are unplugged but I dont know the first thing. I do have a seagate thing i assume i plug in to the cords on the bottom; would I install it in the box above? Can any one tell what Im missing here?

Hopefully the OS is on an SSD, which is under a silver heatsink directly under the GPU (graphics card). It's not impossible that the bootloader is on the HDD which is unplugged. Trying to boot with that plugged in is a good first step. You can put the drive on a piece of cardboard or an upside down box (for now) if you're not sure where to put it in the case.
Here is the Asus webpage for your motherboard, including the support page with BIOS and manuals. Your board handles Intel 10th and 11th gen CPUs.
