I don’t understand what’s happening. My PC built yesterday started up fine with fans running, but now it won’t turn on during setup. When I power it up, the flash bios USB is receiving power, yet there’s no other indication of life. I managed to update the BIOS via USB—lights and USB worked—but the issue persists. I also reinserted the RAM sticks. [The components used](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v3xGbK) 68169755018__B252A89E-75AF-4207-974E-B7710E8BDCE1.MOV
Consider using only a single stick of RAM. It may also be necessary to take off the CPU cooler and CPU to inspect the socket pins. Ensure you haven’t caused any harm. Handle the cooler gently, since the CPU might be attached to it and you could accidentally damage the pins.
I’d attempt another flash while paying close attention to the instructions. It seems there might be an issue with the BIOS compatibility.
