CPU power connector (photo of your X570 board shows one 8 pin) connected from PSU to mainboard (CPU ATX12V) via correct modular cable that came with whatever PSU you are using?

Remove power cord, remove BIOS battery, drop down to one ram stick in recommended slot, hold power button down for 10 sec, perhaps remove GPU entirely, reinsert battery and power cord and see if the mainboard can at least then recognize that it has no graphics adapter, which is actually a 'sign of life' from CPU.

At some point, if no progress, you will want to very carefully remove CPU, verify correctly /oriented/ seated with no bent pins, etc... (The written logo of the CPU's heat-spreader faces kind of sideways compared to Intel mainboards, with the...

If you know all this, sorry, just double checking!

No, thanks for checking, and yeah the cpu should be seated correctly in the direction you described, I'll try taking out the bios battery I guess.

Well. I tried 1 stock of ram in all slots, no change, and tried just romovjng the gpu and no change as well. Makes me think it light have something to do with the cpu? Not really sure
