Newly built computer worked for a night and now won’t POST. Beep and LED codes

OS: windows 11 64bit

Mobo: Gigabyte b650 gaming x AX v2

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060

RAM: G Skill DDR5 32G(16x2 DIMM)

PSU: MSI MAG 750GL

 

Built the computer. Had two bent pins on the CPU socket. Bend them back and was able to build the PC, flash the bios, install windows, and install my games. I enabled precision core enhancement and EXPO for the RAM. Later, I added an additional 2 m2 SSDs that were given to me by a friend. After a short play session where my GPU never went over 60% and CPU maybe 20%, I shut down the computer and got a VERY QUICK error right before the computer shut down. There was text, a long string of numbers, and an icon of a red stop 🛑 and a white X in the middle of it. It was too fast to read. Later in the day I turned on the computer and no POST. The monitor says, “out of range”. On start up I get 1 long, 2 short beep error, the LED error goes from DRAM for a second to VGA led error. All parts are getting power. The following is what I have already tried with no success. Fan RGB still remembers my custom colors. 
 

-Removed 2 SSDs

-Removed GPU and try to POST with iGPU using f8

-Removed above including one DIMM and leaving the A2 DIMM

-installed a MSI GeForce 1060

 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

board is probably fucked so rma it

 

issue should just go away with a board replacement since most of the weird issues if it isnt ram instability is usually board though it is worth switching the ram sticks around see if that helps before going ahead and rmaing the thing

I'd exhaust my options before RMA. Try reseating everything. The fact that the DRAM and VGA LEDs are lighting up makes me suspect something to do with the socket and/or CPU.

 

You mentioned having bent pins, so it's possible that that specific pin has to connect to a VGA pad on the CPU and it's not making that connection.

 

Not an engineer or repair technician, take it with a Himalayan salt rock, but try reseating and resetting everything including RAM, CPU, CMOS, etc.

Man I feel like every time I reseat that CPU I’m risking bending some thing.

Just don't channel your inner Linus and drop that shit like I did once. 🥲 I'm still figuring out if that one pin is the issue on my test bench right now
