I bought all the PC parts (list below) to build a new PC. After assembly, I was getting the d1 code most of the time. After some point of reassembly now I'm getting 3b and the system stops after a few minutes. How can I fix it and get to the BIOS?

Dear Rowshon,

Thank you for posting!

We see that the system of yours cannot boot.

Try this:
1. Install only one RAM to B2 slot.
2. Clear CMOS.
   (There is a CMOS button on the back panel. Please remove the power and press to CMOS button for more than 3 seconds)

3. If the system can still not boot, use minimum bootable hardware for the system to boot.
   (Remove everything except, CPU/CPU fan/RAM x1/Graphis card.)
4. If the problem persists, try using the RAM to different slots.

With thanks,
ASRock TSD
