Hello,
I have an issue with starting my PC, it doesn’t power up properly.
When I check the debug LEDs, the yellow DRAM light stays on for about 15 seconds before everything shuts down.
The monitor shows no signal.
I recently installed a new setup: Mobo: Rog Strix 760-f Wifi, PSU: 850W Corsair, RAM: Corsair 2x16Gb [CMH32GX5M2B6000C40], Watercooling AIO Corsair, SSD: 500Gb Samsung NvMe2, GPU: Asus Rtx 3070Ti, i7 13700k (second hand).
I’ve tried several changes: removed the GPU, switched to HDMI on the motherboard, bought a new motherboard (Asus Prime Z790-A), same problem persists.
Flashing BIOS multiple times, using different USB keys, and swapping RAM sticks with correct compatibility. I placed them in slots 2 and 4, only one in slot 2.
Checked PSU voltages directly on connectors – the manual mentioned a -5v on the ATX connector that my PSU doesn’t have. Not sure if this is necessary.
Cleared QMOS, used Battery+Jumper, and there are no bent socket pins.
I believe the last step to try was replacing the CPU.
If you found anything I missed, please let me know.
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
850W corsair
Corsair is the brand of the unit while 850W is the advertised wattage of said unit. What is the model of the unit?
i7 13700k
(second hand)
Did you verify that the processor was working while you purchased it used?
No bend socket pins.
You should use ambient lighting to take a picture of the socket, some people have missed one or two bent pins and didn't notice until they passed on an image of the socket for us to see.
Which slots are the rams populating on the motherboard?
Watercooling AIO Corsair
This is vague info. Please elaborate. If the mounting is via screws, relieve some stress from the mount so that it's making contact with the IHS but not seated secure with the mounts.

PSU: Corsair Rm850X 80 Plus Gold
About the cpu: I purchased it on Amazon, it should be covered by warranty.
Bend socket pins: I'm not new to this. I can have bend pins on the first motherboard, but I don't think I can bend pins over both. Anyway, I'll share a picture soon.
Watercooling: Tested with a PC without it. The same issue occurred.

Don't require a disk connected, remove it from consideration.
