I just built a new PC, but I'm facing an issue: there's a red LED debug light indicating a CPU problem, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Everything else seems to be working fine, but I can only run one fan on the CPU cooler because the DDRAM gets in the way. I tried turning it on before and the CPU cooling fan wasn't working, causing the PC to auto-shutdown. Since then, I've taken everything apart and reassembled it, but I'm still getting the red CPU light. Here's my build list for reference: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DW6Bdb

Have you checked if the CPU fan header is plugged in? That might be causing your issue. Also, consider rearranging that front fan; moving it up could help clear some space. Just a suggestion!
It might be worth trying to boot with just one stick of RAM, and switch it around to different slots. If that doesn’t work, you could check if the motherboard and CPU function outside the case without any other connections. Sometimes that helps troubleshoot the problem better!
What do you mean by 'stick'? Are you referring to the RAM sticks?
Yes, I realized that the CPU fan wasn’t plugged in initially, but I've fixed that now. Thanks for the tip!
