I constructed my first PC in roughly ten years and watched Linus' YouTube guide on building one. I thought I followed everything properly, but the screen remains blank despite RGB, cooler, and fans being active. I attempted various fixes—reinstalling components, changing slots, using a single stick—but the red light near DRAM persists. Any advice would be invaluable.

Here’s my setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-core ($330)
- Cooler: Lian Li GALAHAD AIO 240 RGB UNI FAN SL120 (58.54 CFM) ($133.99)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 AERO G ATX AM5 ($269.99)
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2x16 GB, DDR5-6000 CL36)
- Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 ($209.98)
- GPU: PowerColor Red Devil OC Radeon RX 6950 XT 16 GB ($684)
- Case: Lian Li LANCOOL 216 ATX Mid Tower
- PSU: Asus ROG-STRIX-850G 850W (80+ Gold, modular) ($180.24)

Total cost comes to $1808.20, including shipping and taxes.

Doesn't the red light indicate a CPU issue? Consider replacing it.
