CPU & DRAM Error lights on MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK Motherboard

[Tarman]

Good morning,

I've recently purchased a pile of new hardware to build a PC.

• MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk
• AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D
• Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity
• 32GB Corsair Vengence RAM
• Lian Li Galahad AIO 240mm water cooler
• Corsair RM850X Power Supply
  

After building it, I'm seeing a red CPU light, and an orange DRAM light on the motherboard. I'd removed all the hardware from the case, and I'm running it on the tabletop.

For the ram problem, I've taken each stick of RAM out; visually checked it; tested each stick of ram in various slots. Same orange light appears on MOBO.

For the CPU; I've tried reseating the CPU, ensured the power cables are connected.

I'm not sure what else I can try here.. Could anyone suggest something?

If it's fauly hardware, would it be the CPU, Motherboard or RAM? Not sure how to proceed, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers in advance!

Resolved. Clearing cmos seemed to have done the trick. Powered on, cpu and ram lights were still on, but turned off, now have access to the bios.
