Question New pc build not booting - giving beep code (link in post)

[PCisverygood]

Just tried to set up my new pc, but it won't boot. It is producing a beep code which we believe is being caused by the RAM being incompatible with the motherboard.

The links below take you to two YouTube videos of the codes; one is in normal speed and the other is in slow motion

We are finding it slightly difficult to ascertain how many beeps there are.

If the RAM is incompatible, what could be done on our part to find compatible RAM based on the official list of supported modules?

The full part list is below:
Case: Montech Air 100 ARGB mATX
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M D3HP AX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16, 6000MT/s)
Storage: Kingston NV3 M.2-2280 1TB PCIe Gen 4
PSU: Corsair RMe 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular

Any help would be appreciated.

1 long beep and 2 short beeps

When I try booting I get 1 long beep and then 2 short beeps. I googled and it seems to be a video card error, however I tried both my 5850 and the onboard with no luck. Tried DVI and HDMI connections. Anything else I can try or is this a bad board? model is M4A89GTD Pro

You forgot to mention the make and model of the discrete GPU in your build. If that's the only GPU you have at hand, you can remove it from your build and you should be able to install the OS using the iGPU(the 7600x has an GPU under that CPU's IHS).

try taking ram out and reseating both. and then if same result put them in other 2 slots. and try.. . if not working still . try 1 ram at a time is "each slot"..

so clear cmos between each try...

Update; I was able to install and set up Windows with the iGPU. Could there be a reason why the 1650 isn't working? I think we're going to try to install it again and see if it produces the same beep code.

did you get the 1650 to work? when your in windows using the igpu .. if you went to setting as "device manager" does the card show up? if it does then you should be able to use it.
if it does not.. it might be that your motherboard an d windows is classing that card as a "legacy card". which would mean that to use it , you would have to go into bios and change boot options for other devices to "legacy" or "legacy and uefi". for the card to be detected on bootup..

Update: we have managed to get it to work. We figured out that the beeps were being caused by the HDMI cable not being plugged into the display properly (on the monitor end of the cable). We find that the cable can dislodge when the PC is moved.
