I verified the setup but noticed two RAM modules. On a direct view of the motherboard, the slots are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. You should place the RAM in slots 2 and 4. Ensure it’s fully seated. Remove both sticks and test with just one to check for a solid click. The CMOS button doesn’t appear to be functional. How did you reset the CMOS?
You only used a single stick of RAM, right? The next phase involves disconnecting nearly all components from your motherboard—likely removing the fans, including the CPU cooler—to test if it runs without any connections. Then, verify that you haven’t damaged any pins on the processor, as its pins are very delicate and even a small bend can cause serious problems.
