I purchased a new motherboard, RAM, and CPU motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 UD AX. RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 2x8 GB, DDR5-5600, CL40-40-40 CPU: i5-12400F. From my previous PC I used the PSU, GPU, and storage (two SSDs, two HDDs). PSU: BeQuiet! Pure Power 500 W GPU: Palit RTX 2070. I assembled everything but it failed to boot. The fans began spinning and both the CPU and GPU became hot. Diagnostic lights on the CPU and RAM started blinking. (The manual states that any blinking light indicates a problem with that component.) I attempted: reinserting RAM in different slots, reseating the CPU, plugging in power cables, updating BIOS to a different version, restarting without RAM, clearing CMOS by removing the battery. After several attempts, the PC restarted itself. Please let me know if you have any further troubleshooting tips or missing details. Thank you for your help.

Check compatibility between CPU mainboard and RAM. This CPU works with 4800MHz RAM, but it's unclear if upgrading to faster RAM is necessary. There are many issues with overclocking DDR5 still. See the article for more details. The system uses 500W, and I tried a more powerful PSU before. If I use my old PSU, it would need a 1600W unit. It doesn't specify the age of your old PSU, but if it's similar in age, consider leaving the battery out for 10 minutes before installation. Alternatively, you can reset it by shorting the CLR-CMOS pins for about 10 seconds and then power it off unplugged.

Checked Gigabyte's site for DDR5 compatibility and found the Kingston kit missing. Tested PSU with an i5 9600k running OC, but power issues didn’t resolve. Regarding PSU setup: connect both connectors or just the 2x4? Some sources suggest leaving one unplugged if the CPU isn’t extremely power-hungry.

Consider RAM options and performance stability. Even if it's slower, a stable system is preferable over none. If possible, try installing one stick in different slots to check for channel compatibility. The power connector should work with a 4-pin adapter if the CPU isn't heavily loaded. Many modern CPUs support 8-pin connectors, and some older systems only use 4-pin. It might help to start with a single stick before upgrading further.

Thanks for your assistance. I purchased a new motherboard that showed the RAM specifications on the support site, and it functioned correctly initially. Perhaps the board was faulty or there was an issue with the RAM compatibility.
