I just assembled my new computer with all the parts you listed. Everything was put together carefully over several days. When I tried to power it on, the DRAM debug LED lit up. I tested different RAM sticks and configurations, but nothing worked. There was a small leak of liquid metal under the cooler onto the GPU backplate, though I’m sure it didn’t reach the motherboard. What should I do now? Should I return it for repair or follow any troubleshooting steps? I can’t access the BIOS and there’s no signal from the GPU.

LM leak issue mentioned. LM is conductive and could damage nearby components. Please share a photo of the leak and the debug LED.
