Make sure the display cable is plugged in to the back of the graphics card and not in to the back of the motherboard.

Is the 8pin CPU power connector plugged in (top left hand side of motherboard)?

do you think it is a faulty cpu or motherboard or just ram incompatability?

if its the cpu ot motherboard how would you tell the difference without having other components to test with?

OP says he's using a 1500X, won't require an update.
