I assembled my computer using an Asus TUF B550M Pro Wi-Fi motherboard, a Ryzen 5 5600X, a GTX 1660 Super, a Corsair 750 power supply, two Corsair 2x8 Vengeance RAM modules, and a 280x Corsair case. After ensuring everything was connected, I plugged in the HDMI cable and turned it on. Initially, nothing happened—no fans spinning, RAM RGB didn<|pad|> to light up, except the motherboard’s bottom-right RGB indicator. I searched online and discovered the system needed a BIOS flash update. I downloaded the update to a USB stick and inserted it into the BIOS slot, then pressed the flash button. The light blinked for about three minutes before turning off. After removing the USB and restarting, I repeated the process three times but still got nothing. This was frustrating, especially since I’d spent months researching and this was my first PC build. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It seems the front panel connectors aren't properly connected. Even if the BIOS version didn't match your CPU, it would still boot softly with fans running and lights on. Your other comment was also removed.

Thanks! No problem at all. I won't repeat that mistake.
