I recently built a brand new PC that features DDR5 RAM, but it's not booting up properly. While the CPU cooler and GPU fans are running, my monitor remains blank, and the DRAM light on the motherboard keeps flashing. I've tried letting it sit for about 40 minutes and reseating the RAM several times, but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

You might want to try using just one stick of RAM at a time. Make sure they are seated correctly in the motherboard slots as well. Also, consider flashing the latest BIOS from a USB drive—check your motherboard manual for specific instructions on how to do this.
Have you checked if your RAM sticks are compatible with your motherboard? That can sometimes be the issue.
I tried using one stick at a time, but it didn't change anything. However, I reseated the RAM again and even removed and reinserted the GPU, and finally, I got a display!
