I'm building my first PC, and I've run into trouble. I have Teamgroup Tforce Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 RAM (product code FF3D532G6000HC30DC01) paired with a Gigabyte B650m Aorus Elite AX (rev 1.3). Pcpartpicker says these components are compatible, so I didn't think much of it. However, the Teamgroup website states the RAM is compatible with the motherboard and AMD 9000 series CPUs, but Gigabyte's official site doesn't list my RAM in the supported modules. I emailed Gigabyte, but is it possible for this to cause my PC not to post? I want to check if the system posts before assembling everything in the case. Currently, I have the following connected: AMD 9800X3D, Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240mm cooler (all-in-one mode to CPU_FAN), dual channel Tforce Delta RAM, and a 5070FE. I've connected the 24-pin ATX, CPU, and GPU to my Corsair RM750x PSU. When I turn on the PSU, a purple light flashes briefly and then goes off. Pressing the onboard reset button doesn't do anything, and nothing turns on, including the RGB on my liquid cooler. I really appreciate any advice on this!

Incompatibility with your RAM seems unlikely in this case. All DDR5 should work with your motherboard, but some might not hit their advertised speeds depending on the board or CPU memory controller. It's more likely that there's a short or an issue with your PSU or motherboard.
Thanks for the info! How would I check if it's a board issue? I know a short could be caused by loose cables, but I've double-checked all the connections.
