Question I built my gaming pc, but it gives no image

Hello everyone, I bought the following components for my gaming computer:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 A PRO X WIFI7
Processor: Intel i9 14900KF
Power Supply: Corsair RM1000e (2023) Fully Modular Low Noise ATX Power Supply - ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 Compatible - 105°C Capacitors - 80 Plus Gold Efficiency
Graphics Card: Asus ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 super
RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory
SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB PCIe 4.0 (up to 7,000 MB/s) NVMe M.2 (2280) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8P1T0BW)

I assembled the computer, as I always did, but it's not displaying any image.
The graphics card, while the computer is off, has a constant red light on. I searched online, and apparently it's a problem with insufficient power, but when I turn on the computer, this red light disappears, yet the computer still doesn't show any video on my screen.

Do you have any idea what could be happening? Any incompatibilities? I saw that some of the Z790 models of motherboard, need bios update to be able to recognize 14th processors, but in the description of this model, it says it works with 14th processors, and when I went to aorus website to see what bios updates are available, it says: Processor support and optimization for i9-14900KS, so I believe I need to do a BIOS update to make it work

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Did you place the rams in slots A2 and B2 while making sure they are properly seated int o their respective slots? You should also check and recheck all connections from your PSU to your components and if they're fully seated.

How are you cooling the processor in your build?

According to the CPU's support list it says you will need at least BIOS version F1 to be able to work with an i9-14900KF, cross referencing the BIOS listed on their support page;

says that's first release, you should be good to go out of the box!

Hey, thanks for answering!
I rechecked all connections!
I'm cooling the processor with: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB - Water Cooling PC, AIO CPU Water Cooler
Regarding the BIOS, apparently these Z790 they support 14th gen, but not out-of-the-box, they need the bios update, so since I don't have an old processor to use to get into the bios, and this model of motherboard doesn't have the button to trigger the usb update, I'll have to take the PC to a gaming pc repair store, so they can make the update for me!
So, I believe after updating the BIOS, it should work
