I finished assembling a new PC, but it never produces a display. The motherboard's DRAM debug light remains illuminated, and the system powers off and restarts about every three minutes. I already tried Q-Flash, reseating the memory in all four slots, reseating the CPU, and testing a second graphics card. The GPU fans also do not spin, although the lack of display seems more likely related to memory or motherboard initialization. The components are an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, Gigabyte Gaming X AX V2 AM5 motherboard, G.Skill Flare X5 16GB DDR5 memory, Inland 1TB SSD, MSI MAG A750GL power supply, and a Radeon 9060 XT. What should I check next?

Please confirm the exact memory kit and whether you are using one stick or two. For troubleshooting, install a single DIMM in the motherboard’s recommended slot, usually A2, then clear CMOS and let the system sit for several minutes while AM5 memory training completes. If it still fails, test the other stick by itself and inspect the DIMM slots and CPU socket for damage or debris.
Double-check the exact CPU, motherboard BIOS version, memory model, and graphics-card model. The listed GPU names appear inconsistent, and confirming the precise parts will help determine whether the BIOS supports the processor and whether the memory kit is compatible. Try a minimal boot with only the CPU, cooler, one RAM module, and graphics output connected.
Make sure the motherboard’s 24-pin and CPU EPS power connectors are fully seated. The graphics card should also have its required power cable connected, and the monitor cable needs to be plugged into the graphics card rather than the motherboard. GPU fans remaining off at idle can be normal, so that alone does not prove the card is faulty.
