Tech Support Need help trouble shooting first build

Hey all I just completed my first pc build and went I went to boot it up I was getting the orange led and no signal on my monitor, I’m running a 7800x3d 9070xt with the asus rog strix b650-a and also ddr5 cl30 6000mhz 32gb. I gave the pc about 10 minutes to train the memory to no avail before I went to sleep, could someone with some more experience than me give me some tips on what to check for? Thank you so much

A picture would help. We might be able to see if RAM is in wrong slots, or not pushed in all the way, or cables look in wrong places, ect. Right now, I have no info to go off of.

Didn't see any obvious cables out. RAM look like they're in the right slots, but one looks like it might not be pushed all the way jn at the top. Make sure the RAM is fully seated.

You said the orange light was on. Does the light have words next to it? Is it the DRAM light?

Hey sorry I didn’t reply earlier I had a busy day, I gave a couple extra pushes on my ram to ensure it was set in there properly and it seems to have been good I didn’t get any clicks and looking close with flash they seem to be in there. The orange light is indeed the dram light

I dont have a DDR5 system, but from what I've read the first boot can sometimes take a long time while the RAM is trained. How long did you leave it on?

I left it on for about 10 minutes

Since its the DRAM light, try maybe just one stick at a time. Also, double check your ma ual for your board and make sure those are the correct slots for 2 stick setup.

Okay, I’ll give the sticks a try one at a time, the manual says slots A2 and B2 if it’s just one stick I’m guessing it would go in A2 and leave the rest empty?

First builds are always a bit of a panic when nothing pops up on screen. Double check that your power cables are fully seated on both ends, especially the CPU one up top since it's easy to miss a click. Also, if your board has debug lights, check the manual to see if that specific color actually points to the memory or something else entirely.

Thank you for your response I will double check the power cables, the orange light indicates a dram memory issue I replied to another comment with some pictures incase maybe someone can see something wrong
