I recently reset the CMOS on my PC, which includes a Ryzen 9 5950x CPU, an MSI 5090 Gaming Trio GPU, 32GB of 3600MHz DDR4 RAM, a MSI b550 Tomahawk motherboard, and a 1200W Super Flower Leadex VIII Platinum PRO PSU. After the reset, my system powers on with spinning fans and lights, but there's a blank screen. I've also tried using the 'Memory Try It!' feature in the BIOS, but that didn't work either. Shorting the BIOS reset pins and removing the battery didn't help, nor did reseating the RAM, GPU, and power cables. My display connection is fine, and I see no visible damage to the PCIe slot. The VGA light is red, but I'm not sure why. Is it possible that my motherboard, GPU, or RAM is damaged?

Make sure you only have one stick of RAM in and the GPU installed. Try booting with that setup first. Sometimes less is more when troubleshooting!
