Hi
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I chose to build a budget gaming PC for my daughter and will share the hardware details at the end of this thread. I followed a YouTube tutorial to ensure everything was set correctly.

Upon first startup, the red D RAM light was illuminated, but no signal appeared on the screen. I attempted to reinsert the RAM and tried booting with only one stick. Then I updated the motherboard using Q-Flash to the latest version, yet the same problem persisted.

I have different RAM options in mind, but I’m confident the one I purchased will fit this board. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Power Supply: Thermaltake Smart BM3 750W 80Plus Bronze ATX 3.0
I considered a more premium model, but most of their SMART series power supplies don’t meet the standards for such a unit.
Size: (2x16GB) 6000MHz PC5-48000 CL30
Memory Part No.: FF4D532G6000HC30DC01
I have various RAM options available and think they should fit this board.
I was thinking about a RAM kit featuring AMD’s E.X.P.O as advertised. Currently, the RAM is designed for Intel systems. We’ll attempt to adapt it for your setup. Are the RAM slots A2 and B2?
Once I updated the motherboard with Q-Flash, the same problem persisted.
Have you reset the CMOS after confirming your BIOS was successfully updated to the latest version?

How long did you wait for the computer before you shut it down?

It seems you'd like me to condense the text to about three minutes, but the content provided is incomplete. Could you clarify or provide the full text?

Consider pausing for 15 minutes to confirm it isn't stuck during memory training.

Sorry, I didn't ask. Could you clarify if the fans spin or if the GPU/fan/lighting activate upon powering up?

Yes, the fan spins and GPU light came on. I plan to let it run longer with a different GPU I have nearby, so I won’t need to take it out of the other machine. Should be fine. Thanks everyone for your help and support. I’ll update you in about 30 minutes. 😏

So I went to something else after I came back, but when the CPU light turned on, it was solid now. The CPU light doesn't blink for a second anymore—it's on immediately and stays solid, no D RAM light either. The fans on the cooler are spinning; I unplugged them and plugged them back in just in case, but the same problem persists. Should I take the CPU out again? I'm sure it's properly seated with the triangle in that corner. I bought this CPU on sale from Ali, maybe it doesn't matter since it wasn't in the original box.

Removed CPU seemed fine, motherboard was intact but possibly damaged. It might have been wiped with alcohol and a cleaning paste, then reinserted successfully. Issue resolved quickly. Thanks again.
