I recently assembled my first computer and noticed no display, though everything appears to power on. Additionally, a persistent orange light appears on the motherboard back. I changed the GPU to an older model without success, and the same went for the RAM. Appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Here are my specifications:
CPU: i3-12100F
PSU: EVGA 650W B5
GPU: GTX 1650 super
Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H
Ram: 16 GB DDR4-3200 CL16

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
The motherboard has four RAM slots, which ones are you filling? Slots A2 and B2 need attention to ensure the RAM is correctly seated. Make sure all power connections from the PSU to the motherboard and GPU are secure, especially if your GPU needs extra power.
A steady orange light appears on the back of the motherboard.
You're looking at the component in the picture with a trace or outline—this is the LED for audio separation on the motherboard's PCB.
