I understand the situation isn't very clear, but it seems like the setup is causing some unusual behavior. After turning off the power supply and restarting, the system sometimes starts but then reports a BIOS reset error. I've had to reboot multiple times to get past that issue. There are LEDs indicating different stages of the boot process, including DRAM, CPU, VGA, and boot. It took several attempts to finally get it running smoothly. I was using a TUF Gaming B550 board with memory indicators. I suspect activating the memory profile might have contributed to instability. I've removed the RAM once and it worked, but then I had doubts about whether it was the RAM itself. After some troubleshooting, I disconnected the power supply and tried shorting the pins on the motherboard with a knife, which finally got it to start—but only after a lot of fiddling. The keyboard didn't work at first, only showing up when the hub was connected to a different port. I'm considering sending it back for replacement. What do you think?
