Hey everyone! I just finished building my first PC a few days ago, but I'm running into a bit of a problem with cold boots. Sometimes, when I power it on, the fans start spinning, but there's nothing showing on my AIO LCD. It'll just sit there until I cycle the power off and back on, and this can happen multiple times. I've heard it might be related to memory training, but that shouldn't take this long. I've tried reseating both my RAM and GPU, and double-checked all connections. I'm starting to wonder if there's an issue with the motherboard instead. By the way, I currently have only the 8-pin CPU power cable connected; there's another 4-pin available, but I'm not sure if I should use it. Here's my build: B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7, 2x16GB DDR5 Fury Beast RAM, 9800X3D CPU, Sapphire Pure 9070XT GPU, Thermalright Peerless Vision 360 AIO, Corsair RMX Shift PSU, and a Lian Li Evo Dynamic case. I'd share a picture of the build, but it seems that's not an option here.

I had the same issue with my setup! It ended up being related to the RAM. I found that reseating it worked for me after a couple of tries. Maybe give that another shot and see if it makes a difference!
Really? Hmm, I'll try messing with it again to see if that helps.
