Last night while using my pc the display and audio cut off and pc stayed on. When re booted it gave 1 ling beep and 2 short. The lights on motherboard flashes yellow red white but stays on orange which is dram. I re-seated the ram a few times and then the motherboard light just stayed on white which is VGA so still no display? I have tried re seating graphics card and now im back to solid orange light with 1 long beeps and 2 short.
PC specialist phone lines obviously closed atm and really trying to avoid having to go through the returns process.

if anyone can asvise any other things i can try or may know whats happening? Thank you

Just to add the motherboard i have is:
ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready!

The spec i posted differs slightly as i made amendments but i cant get them to copy over on my phone. The ram gou and CPU have not changed though

Is that actually the spec you have? This shows a 5900x CPU and 3080 GPU with a 350W VS PSU. If that is the case, I am surprised it ever turned on.

Do you still have 4 RAM sticks? If so, you could take out 2 and see it the PC will start. If not, swap the RAM over to the other 2 sticks and try again. You will need to make sure the RAM is in the right slots.

Yes ram is still the same. I tried this but im going to try again. Motherboard reccomends a2 and b2 does that sound right?

Ok so running off 2 ram sticks clears ram error again but im back with the white vga light on the motherboard. I have tried swapping to hdmi rather than dp and i have tried connecting just 1 monitor rather than 2 none of which has worked

Yes reseated the GPU. Can”t even try it in another pci-e slot because wofi card is in the way/wont fit and dont want to mess about too much with that.

Ok no problem could you try booting your pc with just one ram stick in slot A2

If it boots with one ram slot proceed to run all windows updates then after turning off your pc adding the rest of the ram back and try booting again
