PC specifications include AMD RYZEN 5 5600X, NZXT KRAKEN X53 MSI MPG, B550 GAMING EDGE, Wi-Fi Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro, 16 GB DDR4-3600 memory, Gigabyte Aorus Master 3070, Samsung 980 1TB M.2 drive, Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD, Corsair RM750 power supply. The system runs Windows 10 64-bit with the latest BIOS, recently updated after stability problems. After clearing CMOS and re-flashing, the PC boots normally but shows no display and the CPU debug light remains active. When trying to access BIOS, I encounter keyboard input issues even after swapping devices. Connecting both keyboards to another machine works fine. Occasionally, removing and reinserting components allows entry into BIOS but causes freezing during navigation. Some users suggest checking RAM configuration or ensuring proper power connections. Consider verifying the BIOS version and updating drivers if needed.

Updated the fix for this situation. I used a spare CPU of the same model and installed it. While taking out the old one, I saw some thermal paste leaking from the NZXT Kraken onto the CPU side. It wasn’t a lot, but it might have contributed to the problem. After replacing the new CPU and reapplying paste, the system started up normally.
