I just completed assembling my first PC. When I powered it up, the EZ DEBUG LED sequence was: CPU + BOOT, DRAM, then it shut down and restarted (possibly the problem?), CPU, DRAM, VGA (5-10 seconds), followed by BOOT which stays active. No display appears (connected via HDMI). I can't even reach the BIOS. I've reset the CMOS, reinserted the SSD, verified all connections. Still nothing works.

Did you plug the cable into the GPU? The debug indicators are only showing up when the system freezes, so it seems there’s an issue if it’s stuck.

The cable is properly attached to the GPU. The debug indicators appear to function correctly initially, though they eventually freeze at the BOOT screen.

Reinstall the CPU and verify that the storage drive is firmly and correctly attached.

Consider using one stick of RAM across all slots if it doesn’t resolve the issue

I turned the PC on by chance and it functioned! I played around with the cables for a while, and it suddenly started booting the BIOS.
