Hello everyone - knew build acting up. The VGA and the BOOT light are on at the same time. The fans on the GPU spin, and the lights are aglow, but the fans stop the moment the VGA light illuminates. I have removed and reseated both the GPU and the SSD and I reset the CMOS. All of the components are brand new. Perhaps a BIOS update will do the trick?

Your motherboard has a BIOS FlashBack button on the rear, use that in conjunction to this guide;

I would flash the BIOS to the latest and see if that helps revive your platform.

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age(if it's recycled from an older build). How are you cooling the processor? As for the ram, got a link for the kit?
 


Flashed BIOS and now the CPU red light is ablaze. Why is that light red man! Make it something less alarming like a blue light to calm my nerves.

Cleared the CMOS, and the red CPU light no longer illuminates but the mobo has reverted to illuminating the VGA and BOOT light. I'll swap out the GPU and see if the problem persists.

Dropped in a 3060 and the results are the same, VGA and BOOT light on illuminated.

Am I in a place where I need to replace the mono or is there additional testing to be conducted.
