System boots up successfully yet no output appears on connected displays.
Hey, just completed a fresh PC setup but when powering it up the screen stays blank. I found an orange indicator next to 'DRAM' on the motherboard, indicating a RAM issue. I've tried several fixes so far: reinstalling RAM, testing each stick individually, resetting the CPU, changing monitors, using different HDMI cables, and even swapping RAM with another pre-built system (which worked). My hardware includes: ROG Strix B550-A board, AMD Ryzen 5 5500, two 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro sticks, GeForce RTX 3050, a 1TB Crucial SSD, and a Corsair RM750 power supply.
Have you changed the BIOS yet? If your motherboard was only used once before you started working with it, it might have incorrect RAM settings and cause errors. Disconnect the power supply and remove the CMOS battery for 5-10 minutes. Reinsert the battery, reconnect the PSU, and power on to see if it boots properly. Also review the provided link for any RAM installation issues.
