So. It's tough times. Assistance needed. I'm assembling my PC and it fails to power up. When I tried to switch it on, the motherboard reported no RAM. The DRAM indicator is lit. Here are the details... I've got the parts listed. PCPartPicker has everything. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-core, bought for $419.99. Cooler: NZXT KRAKEN Z73 73.11 CFM, purchased for $271.63. Thermal paste: Arctic Silver 5, 3.5g, bought for $6.99. Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F, ATX, gaming, Wi-Fi, AM4, $209.99. RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB), $84.99 each. Storage: Western Digital Blue 500GB M.2-2280, $64.99. Disk: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB, $55.99. Case: NZXT H710i, mid-tower, $169.99. Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB, $84.99 each. Graphics: Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB, ROG Strix Gaming OC, $1299.99. Case protection: NZXT H710i ATX, $169.99. Monitor: Asus VG278Q 27", 1920x1080, 144Hz, $239.99. Monitor: Asus VG278QR 27", 1920x1080, 165Hz, $249.99. Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM 27", 1920x1080, 280Hz, $247.05. Costs total $3602.55, including shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts. All figures are accurate as of July 20, 2020, 16:32 EDT. It's okay with the thermal paste inside. I'm really stuck. Need advice—other than swapping the board, I don't know what else to try. I'm feeling down, anxious, hurt, and isolated.

1 - attempt using one stick at a time
2 - try using two sticks at once
3 - let me know if this doesn't help.

Have you attempted inserting one memory stick at a time into each DIMM slot?

Replacing the CPU? Sounds crazy, but at least you could give it a shot.

Did you consult the guide to confirm you removed the correct component? - Do you possess another processor for testing to verify the memory controller? - Is there another machine to evaluate the memory performance? - The issue could stem from a motherboard memory channel problem, possibly requiring a return merchandise authorization.

Remove CMOS and reinstall CPU carefully, inspecting pins for damage. Start with a single memory stick in slot 1 and begin the system.
