Hey everyone! I just put together a new PC but I'm running into an issue. I've got a red LED debug light indicating a CPU problem, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Everything seems to be working aside from this light. I can only get one fan on the CPU cooler because my RAM sticks are blocking the others. I did have a moment where the fan wasn't running and the system auto-shutdown. I disassembled the PC and reassembled it, but I still see the red light. Here's a link to my build for reference: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DW6Bdb.

It might help to try booting the system with only one stick of RAM at a time, testing each slot. If that doesn’t work, take everything outside of the case and try powering just the motherboard and CPU to see if that changes anything.
First off, make sure your CPU_FAN header is plugged in. Sometimes, it’s an easy fix! You might also want to consider moving the front fan up to allow more space. That could help with airflow as well.
Thanks, I just uploaded a pic of the build. Turns out the CPU fan wasn't plugged in at all - that was my initial mistake!
What do you mean by 'stick'? Are you talking about the RAM?
