Upgraded an older PC, keeping the Corsair 650W PS and case.

Intel i5-10400
ASUS Prime H410M-A/CSM
G.Skill 16GB (2 x 8GB) Aegis DDR4 PC4-24000 3000MHz

I definitely have power, but no video at all. I've replaced the RAM with known-working RAM (same exact model) with no difference. Tried DVI-D instead of HDMI and resetting CMOS - nothing. Re-seated CPU, tried external graphics, and nothing.

I read that I may be able to troubleshoot with a buzzer or speaker? Where do I get one, and do I just connect to the speaker pins on the MB?

Do you try to boot with a USB with win10 installation on it, or do you use an old HDD or SDD wit win10 already installed ?
Have you tried with a single RAM stick ?

It couldn't even display the BIOS screen, much less boot from anything. I ended up exchanging the board for a similar MSI board and all is good!
