New build big problem

Asus b550 strix gaming f
Ryzen 9 5900X
Samsung 980 Pro M.2
Asus rog 1070 graphics
Put it together with just the M.2 drive and ram. Installed Windows 10 without problem
Klevv bolt ram 32 gig .

Then went into bios to set up a raid for 2 SSDs. It would not set the raid up and on restart went into a bios loop.or would not start at all.

I dismantled it and rebuilt outside of the case I examined the cup pins and they looked ok. On starting, the orange led was flashing (ram). I tried each stick in each in each socket , no change.

I'm now at a loss.

Edit: I cleared cmos by removing the battery and 're flashed the bios

Yes, bios reflash good. Cleared CMOS many times including removing the battery, and both sticks of ram in each socket. Nothing but the flashing yellow led

I've done all that. Stumped now.

I'll try anything in desperation. No bent pins as far as I can tell.

The only BIOS I can find is the latest

I have installed a new rog strix b550 f MB. Same problem.
I Have installed a new Risen 9 5900X. Same problem.

It can only be RAM now?

Edit: The Samsung M.2 wouldn't stop it posting would it?

Well, this is embarasing. The graphics card was not seated correctly. Up and running.
