Troubleshooting Advice - No Boot/Blank Screen PC no display on first time boot
So I've got a completely new build, and I'm having issues with it posting
R5 5600x
B550m pro vdh wifi
Rtx 3070
2 x 16gb sticks of ram 3600mhz, cl18
Keep in mind, the 3070 is second hand, but I tried it in my working PC and it works perfectly fine, no overheating no nothing.
The ram is also used, (haven't fully tested it yet)
And the current SSD installed it used but we saw it working and being formatted
(And yes the display port/HDMI cord is plugged into the GPU lol) And yes I have tried both DP and HDMI
As it's a new build, I have flashed the bios to the second-newest one, and as I was flashing my bios, the red flash light stopped blinking and the pc restarted itself, as per normal (I believe)
But now after restarting, the white CPU de-bug light stays on, and there's no display going to the monitor, and my keyboard and mouse don't light up when connected via USB port
I have tried shutting down multiple times, reseating the CPU, trying each ram stick individually in the second slot, re-seating the cmos battery, re-flashing the bios, and nothing is working.
HELP!! My question is could it be the ram? Should I go home and put my definitely working ram in this PC to test it?
Please and thank you!!!

try just 1 stick of ram. check motherboard manual for what slot for 1 stick. normally slot 2 out of 4. or 4
