Is that just the 'boot' LED lit up in the picture or one of the other ones?

I'd strip everything out of the case at this point, build it up on the desk with just the CPU, GPU and RAM, literally nothing else.
Does the CPU fan spin up when you try to power the system up?

Yeah it is the boot LED indicator.
Yeah all fans are running, the GPU fans shut down after a second which is apparently normal until they reach appropriate temp.
Apart from the M.2 SSD and PSU that is all I'm using anyway, would this be to test something particular?

You could have a short somewhere, and the next step after this, I would remove the CPU, which will be easier with the board out of the case.

Okay I tried unplugging all extra stuff then rebooting to see if that was the problem.
Here is a picture to show what I had plugged in and what I tested removing. (It is possible you know better than me that I don't have something in that I should have)
Also upon reading the MOBO Manual further I found this page and this particular light is on. Is this a clear indication that my RAM is faulty?

Both sticks faulty I'm not so sure and doesn't explain io ports not working.Okay I tried unplugging all extra stuff then rebooting to see if that was the problem.

My advice is to take the motherboard out and update the bios with q flash plus. All you need is the motherboard, psu and usb drive with latest bios. Plus there is no chance of a short , rebuild not in the case and test.
Unfortunately yes.. I have tried both sticks individually in each position and I get the D-RAM LED in all attempts.
Can I connect the new motherboard to my old system to access USB that way as it is unpowered I/O on this system?
Man of Honour
No.
You need to take the motherboard out to rule out a short, this is important .
You can either test you system then or update the bios, updating the bios you only need to connect the psu to the motherboard. Insert the usb drive in the correct flash port and press the fkaah button, You should get activity and after a few minutes the flash process will stop.

I will try this tomorrow morning thank you.
Supposing it doesn't work what is the remaining fault? Having to replace motherboard?
Given the D-RAM LED fault showing, is there any possibility that replacing the RAM could be the only problem? AFAIK that shouldn't prevent boot or deny power to the I/Os?

If all fails after that it's a case of sending parts back to be tested theres no definative answer but memory would be first and motherboard.
Let's us know how you get on.
Good luck.
Okay I QFlashed the BIOS and still have all the same problems including C1 error so I will try get my hands on some alternative DDR5 RAM to swap in and see if there's any luck there.
Man of Honour
Unlucky.
I'm guessing you tried each stick individually in every slot ?
Did you have a closer look at the cpu motherboard socket for bent pins while it was out of the case.
Yeah tried every slot and I couldn't see anything wrong with the socket unfortunately, at this moment I am hoping it is the RAM cos it's easy to fix lol

Only just caught back up on this one as just finished a 14h day...
Have you taken the CPU out and inspected the socket yet?

Yeah, it's intel so at least as far as I can tell there's nothing obviously wrong.
As a small update I have also tried now Display Port and get no signal on that either through my new card, on-board graphics or my friends (confirmed working) card.
I think I will take the RAM to a PC shop to have it tested and if it is okay I will then replace the motherboard, what do you think?
Replacing the Motherboard solved the issue, so it must have been faulty! Thanks everyone for replies!
Soldato
So DOA or you fragged it?
