Building first PC. When everything is plugged in, the CPU LED is it up and no beeps occur. Only the CPU LED is lit up. When I remove 1 RAM stick (either one), the DRAM LED is lit up and there are 3 beeps but the CPU LED is no longer lit up. Only the DRAM LED is lit up at that point. I'm computer illiterate but that seems so odd?
Parts: MSI b450 gaming plus motherboard, 2x4 ddr4 dual-channel patriot viper RAM, ryzen 5 2400g CPU, thermaltake 500w smart PSU. Everything's compatible. Everything appears fully plugged in. I don't currently have a GPU but have integrated APU. The CPU and case fans are all spinning, the cases blue led lights are working.
I did have a really nice guy on discord tell me my next step should be to reseat the CPU. I will do that later. Is that my next step? Any other additional things I can try? What are the most likely problems?
Thanks.
