Continue with two RAM sticks in A2/B2 And maybe consult the friend who does cryptocurrency mining for build the first PC.

Thanks for the response. How do you know it's DXE beep codes? I'm just really surprised there isn't somewhere online that can confirm beep codes. I thought there were speaker header beep codes hooked to the motherboard that confirm what is wrong but your list sounds like it doesn't relate to the motherboard?

Confirming that the VGA power cable goes straight from the PSU to the video card, confirming video card is in PCIE1 slot.

I guess I'll attempt to disconnect both hard drives? I've toyed around with the RAM slots little already but I can try again too now that it actually powers up.

Hello,

Tried to build my first gaming PC but to no avail. Everything powers up at this point (it didn't power up at all first time) but it doesn't communicate with my monitor. The scary part is I think I had the CPU rotated wrong and I'm afraid the pins could be bent and ruined. The second time I removed the heatsink I couldn't even remove the CPU (felt stuck).

Anyway my speaker header has five beeps and this is for X570M. I can't find anywhere online what five beeps mean. Anybody have any idea?

On top of that I can't switch my monitor to English (accidentally tapped Spanish for first time turning on) but I think it roughly translates to no HDMI signal, move your mouse or keyboard, etc.

Thank you
