Question Gigabyte x870E Aorus Pro Ice will not post/black code screen

[Jovimk]

I am in my 50's and it has been a few years since I built a new pc. I got lazy and bought an Alienware. Just bought new parts for a new rig and having issues with getting a Gigabyte x870X Pro Ice 1.1 to boot up. I have ran through the guantlet of reseating the processor (Ryzen 9 9950x) twice and replugging in all components to ensure I had everything right. Tried to clear CMOS. The code screen has never come on once to issue any codes. It is black. The memory led was lit on first attempt and after a few attempts the cpu led light is on. I have never had a bad board before and it's my first Gigabyte. Is my board DOA? Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Rams in slots A2 and B2? Might want to inspect the CPU's socket for any bent or broken pins.
