I'm attempting to build my first computer, but I'm running into a problem where it won't power on. I've noticed a solid red light around the SSD area of my B850 motherboard, which sometimes blinks. Here are my specs: I'm using a Ryzen 7 7000 series CPU, a 5070ti graphics card, and 32 GB of RAM. I can't recall the SSD model at the moment, but I do have an RM1000x power supply and an Astria 400. Any insights on what might be causing this issue?

It sounds like you might need to provide more specs or info about your setup. Are there any debug lights on the motherboard that could indicate the problem? If it's not powering on, maybe the RAM isn't seated correctly? I hope your CPU is properly installed too.
I agree, check the RAM installation first. Sometimes it doesn’t get seated properly. But also remember, you don't need an SSD to access the BIOS, so try booting without it by just connecting the CPU and one RAM stick.
