Asus PRIME B650-PLUS

Wanted a basic motherboard for a homelab project and Asus is my usual goto hardware manufacturers, but will avoid any of the "Prime" series in future. Issues from PCIE cards that work on other older motherboards and compatible with the M/B specs are not detected. M/B just went dead and no working lights to indicate the issue. BIOS Flashback doesn't seem to work at all, the light just stays on and no indication if anything is happing. Either spend the money on the TUF/ROG series or switch to ASROCK but avoid the Prime at all cost.
