Here’s a revised version of your text:

I recently assembled my own PC and went through troubleshooting steps. Eventually, I managed to get the display working by replacing the CMOS battery. At first, everything seemed normal until I tried a Windows update and couldn’t see anything. I’m not sure what caused the issue, but there’s also a red static LED on the motherboard. I’m hoping someone can help me figure out how to fix these problems without having to reset everything again or replace the CMOS battery. Also, all components are showing up correctly in BIOS, so I wasn’t certain where to start.

Consider reinstalling your RAM modules or using just one. Let me know which one you see in the photo.

I just tested it, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Not sure if everything is set up right or if it’s just showing up in the BIOS as an installed item.

At startup, the PC initially shows red flashes on the DRAM, transitions to red VGA, but the screen remains absent. It might indicate a RAM issue. Still, no display detected.

Yes, resetting the CMOS settings can restore the display output to its normal state.

It works now. I have a screen, and the LED isn't illuminated.

Store the BIOS configurations and restart the system. If the screen disappears once more, your CMOS battery is likely faulty.
