I recently swapped my old cooler onto a different PC while waiting for a better one. During the process, I had to remove both the CPU and RAM. Now that I've assembled everything back together, my computer won't boot up – there's no display. The fans are spinning, the GPU and RAM lights are on, but my motherboard has both orange and white lights indicating an issue. It was a hassle putting everything together, and the thought of taking apart the cooler and reseating the components makes me feel really stressed. Can anyone help me figure this out?

It sounds like you might have a RAM issue. Double-check that all the RAM sticks are seated properly. If things still aren't working, try booting up with just one stick to see if you can at least get a POST signal. Just so you know, if you're on AM5, the first boot can take a while due to memory training – up to 15 minutes! Be sure not to power off during that time.
Gotcha! Just to clarify, my setup uses LGA 1200. I've already tried resetting it multiple times, but it's only recognizing 24GB out of my 32GB. Looks like I’ll need to take off the cooler and reseat everything again. Appreciate the advice!
