I handled it by checking the situation carefully. You didn’t have to remove the CPU cooler just to fit case fans. It’s possible you were working on a partially done task while adjusting the pins. Reassess the setup using your phone camera from various angles can provide clearer insight. If the system restarts multiple times, allow it to finish. However, if it runs for an extended period without booting, there’s likely a problem. Testing with a single stick of RAM might help identify the issue.
The motherboard is extremely compact, making it hard to work without taking off the GPU and CPU coolers. The thermal paste on the cooler feels overly sticky when you remove it, suggesting a possible mount issue. Attempting to install just one RAM stick hasn't resolved the problem.
Experience the power of Ryzen before AM5. Remove the CPU carefully and attempt a proper setup this time. Use your phone camera to zoom in while holding it with one hand. With the other hand, use tweezers to straighten the pins. Pass a sharp object through it, but first locate any faulty pins. You’ll see issues clearly when you adjust the view with your camera and rotate the chip. Avoid touching pins with your fingers to prevent further damage. If you’re confident all pins are intact and functioning, proceed—otherwise, the CPU might still be okay.
It managed to fight for what it was worth, but it crashed after 30 seconds. Not sure if it's still running.
