Hello everyone, I’m sorry for the unclear English in my previous messages. I need to write this on my mobile device. I’m planning to assemble my own PC after six years of using a pre-built one. The motherboard is a Gigabyte B660 Gaming X DDR4 (128 GB, Socket 1700/B660/DDR4/S-ATA 600/ATX) with an Intel i5 12400 12th Gen CPU. I’m using a Pure Power 11 FM PSU (550W, 80+ Gold, modular BN317). The case fans are the VENT 120X120 LIAN LI UNI FAN SL120 NEGRO KIT X3UD (3 pcs, 1900RPM, PWM/ARGB G99.12UF3B.00). For cooling, I’m using a Corsair iCUE H150i RGB Elite. My RAM is Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 64GB. The GPU is a GTX 1060 with 6GB from Asus. I have roughly 4TB storage—two HDDs and a 250GB M.2 SSD. When everything is assembled and powered on, the fans start, the RAM RGB activates, etc. But the motherboard shows a red light on the bottom right, which according to the manual suggests a CPU issue. After trying various fixes—replacing the CPU 8-pin, checking fan placement, removing and reinserting the CPU, resetting the BIOS—I still can’t resolve it. The CPU might be faulty. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try? Also, I thought the power supply might be too weak. Here’s a link to my setup: https://ibb.co/qCG8NDs and https://ibb.co/7bPZyJT

Removing the RAM module, changing the slots, etc.—poor RAM sometimes leads to CPU issues

Additionally, I had RAM installed and I noticed that the four slots are all occupied.

I noticed that point. Your setup seems a bit off, especially with the RAM amount compared to the hardware specs. Also, your build looks unbalanced. You have 64GB of RAM but a low-end GPU and mid-range CPU. It’s interesting you invested so much in RAM while not upgrading the core components.

I don't understand what happened. The info about the motherboard and text size changed unexpectedly. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Tests are performed outside the case on a rubber mat or the MB box. This isn't the first Lian Li case with issues in this forum. A budget 550W PSU intended for gaming isn't suitable here. Today's 450-650W PSUs are meant for all-in-one builds without performance upgrades. For CPU concerns, many board makers release a BIOS update before testing, which could be the best option for your system.

You can refresh the BIOS even without a display signal or when your mouse and keyboard aren’t responding. Also, ensure the RGB indicators stay active for proper feedback.

Is MB receiving no power? Do you have the Flash Bios by Button configuration? Or did you connect the PSU power to the MB cable into MB?

Power is supplied, but the GPU fan spins instead of the display.
