I've invested a lot of time into building my PC, but I'm stuck at the last step. I've installed my RX 5700XT graphics card, and while the LEDs light up when I turn the PC on, the fans on the GPU don't start spinning at all. It seems like the GPU isn't booting up with the computer, and that's making the whole system unusable. I could really use some guidance here; I'm exhausted and just want to finish building this thing!

It sounds like you might be missing some power connections. Make sure the PCIe power cables are firmly connected from your power supply to the graphics card. Without those, the motherboard won't provide enough power through the PCIe slot to boot your RX 5700XT. Also, check that you're not connecting your monitor to the motherboard; it should be connected to the GPU instead.
Have you checked if everything is seated properly? Sometimes, just reseating the GPU can help. If the power cables are connected and the GPU lights are on but the fans aren’t spinning, it might be worth testing the card in another system if you can. It could potentially help identify if the card itself might be faulty.
