It looks good that we have life! Can the system send data outside the case? Verify all your motherboard mounts and confirm there are enough standoffs for the board—typically 9 for an ATX, usually in a 3x3 grid. Sometimes the center stud in the middle row secures it while you install the others. Ensure no metal objects protrude past the standoffs in the case to avoid short circuits. EDIT: Electrical tape works but tends to get messy over time and can be slippery. It’s not conductive, but its messiness makes it less ideal.
I only tested whether the system would start with just one CPU fan and a single stick of RAM. This time the fan ran continuously and the motherboard's RGB lighting activated unexpectedly. I’ll review this later today and provide an update. It seems unlikely you meant this, but if I’m mistaken, I’ll double-check that all screw points on the motherboard where it could be mounted to the case are secure—making sure no metal touches anything.
Have you attempted to reset the CMOS? It seems the display outputs are toggling while connected to the graphics card, receiving a signal briefly before the monitor powers down.
I understand, I can take a little time before settling on the new motherboard. Thanks a lot for your support—even though it turned out different, I wouldn’t have managed without you. Love you brother.
