I've just completed assembling my new PC. The parts included were B650 Aorus Elite AX ZotacRTX 4070Ti, AMD Ryzen 7900, Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5600, 2TB NV2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 12 M 750W ATX power supply. Everything seems to be working once turned on, except for the setup process. When I press Enter, it takes a long time to recognize the delete key, but eventually it does. I suspect the SSD might be causing the issue, so I removed it and it still didn't work. The RAM appears to be connected properly according to the manual, and the GPU seems functional since the screen is visible. All fans are running and RGB lights are working. I also took out the small battery to reset the CMOS, but that didn’t help either. Can you assist me? I’m really stuck.

Ram is positioned in slots A2 and B2. There are SATA drives present. Uninstall them before installing Windows.

The RAM sticks are located in the slots you referred to, and I don’t have a data drive.

You might also attempt updating the BIOS by connecting a USB stick and flashing it using FAT32 formatting. Download the BIOS F3 from the provided link and place the file onto the USB drive. Shut down your computer, then insert the USB into the correct port and press the Q-flash button. The LED will begin flashing; once stopped, the device should be ready. Restart the PC and wait for the splash screen to appear. Allow sufficient time for the flashing process after powering on. The screen will remain black until completion, after which the system will restart before turning back on.

You're welcome! It sounds like you had a bit of a confusing process. After pressing the q-flash button and seeing the light flash, you needed to restart. I ended up in the shell by pressing "N" and followed the driver instructions, which worked. Once I exited the shell, I was able to access the BIOS. Now you're ready to set your RAM frequency—since it recognizes 4800Mhz. A quick search should help you with that.

You're experiencing the same problem as Teeeaser, but the red light isn't activating during the Q-flash. Pressing the button briefly causes fans to spin, but not consistently. It seems the flash timing or settings might need adjustment.
