I have tried almost everything in the post thread to fix this issue besides individually testing the parts (this is the only new gen pc I have so I can't test my new DDR5 RAM or AM5 CPU). I have tried everything , 1 stick of ram in A1 position (and alternated to see if one stick was bad ) reseated CPU checked power connectors disconnected GPU as well as m .2 SSD PSU fans spin on reboot so it seems to be good additional fiddling for the last 3 hours When I initially booted with the GPU in the lights came in as well as the GPU fans spinning up All I can get the computer to do is to spin up the case fans and the CPU fans on the cooler . There isn 't even a beep code to listen to . NONE of the RGB lights have come on which makes me think I may have wired them up wrong ? When it comes to the different types of LED connections on the motherboard I am admittedly a bit lost . . could this be the issue ? This is the part list of what I am using https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7zMs28 Any help is appreciated Please save me I am going mad

Many boards won’t upload if slot A1 is empty. Four DDR5 boards using daisy chain layouts are best when only A2 and B2 slots are used. Try switching to A2 or B2 and observe the result. Since this board lacks visible debug LEDs, consider adding a beeper for easier troubleshooting. These devices cost just a few dollars and can prevent future headaches. RGB boards often stay off until Windows is fully loaded, so that’s not a major concern here. Any wiring errors in LEDs won’t stop the system from booting, so you can address that later.

I was concerned about the LED indicators. In this area, I don’t see any lights on my keyboard or mouse when I connect it, which suggests the PC isn’t detecting USB output and I’m unsure what that means. Thanks for the guidance on RAM setup—I plan to adjust it tomorrow during troubleshooting. Regarding QFLASH on UEFI-BIOS, it might not help right now; save it until the system is fully booted. The manufacturer’s site confirms CPU support from version F1, so it could be worth checking. I have a beeper installed but haven’t received any debug codes yet. I might replace it with an older model that works, since that’s one of the few parts I still have. Thanks! I’m hoping the RAM was the problem all along.
