How long did you leave it on when it booted?

10 plus minuets

New Board and old ram worked thank the great bill gates. My old board was a bit old and was not able to keep up with the new things I had to go with it, is what I am told.

No, that board is perfectly capable of keeping up with all of those components. If it wasn't working there was simply a defective component somewhere. Either the CPU's seat, the GPU's PCIe slot, or one (or more) of the DIMMs were bad, most likely. Could have been anything.

What was your new motherboard, btw?

Beautiful. I run a Gigabyte board myself. Personally, I think they are tops in the MoBo space, right now.

Also, to hammer home a point I made earlier, because you were being misled by a poster here who is constantly wrong about just about everything related to PC assembly, and doesn't understand what a QVL list intends to convey to consumers, but you'll notice your "old RAM" (the original Patriot RAM you purchased) isn't on the QVL list for this Gigabyte motherboard, either. Yet your computer works.

The fact you changed nothing else but the motherboard and now it works is an effective confirmation the original ASRock motherboard was defective. We don't know exactly what was defective, but something with it was defective. You got a lemon. That is all. Sorry you had to go through that. Make sure to get your money refunded with an RMA.

AMD has had fickle RAM support since AM4. In a retail market where RAM prices have doubled. Referencing the motherboard RAM support spreadsheet is a necessity today.

I'm pretty sure my Corsair Vengeance 6000 CL30 wasn't listed for my Gigabyte mobo and it still works fine.

It'll run at its defaulted speed. Its advertised frequency is when the problem will arise.

User here asking for build advice two months ago had this exact problem post-build.

What kicked off all this nonsensical chest puffing is @CaulderBorn disclosing his DRAM LED fault on the motherboard three days after his initial post. Which isnt necessarily his fault. He just didnt know how vital that one piece of information was.
 
Been away from this project as I was working on other things. Been back working on the display mounting. Here are some photos from that end. I made the slot deeper since the bottom photo.

A little update Bluetooth speaker mounting test.

Almost finished with the speaker 🔊 mounting.


 
I am going back to cut my speaker hole resize it and add a 45 degree angle for a side panel fun times. This is the side panel getting cut to place between the screen and the speaker hole.
