Hello- it's clearly been a while. Since I re-seated the RAM I have not had this issue happen again! :) Thanks for all your help.

On new builds with issues one should always check hardware first, then BIOS settings, then OS.

Peace

Good job. Usually, when you get a black screen for no apparent reason, the 1st and easiest thing to check, is re-seating the RAM.

Glad it worked in this case.

Hello everyone- It started happening again about a month after I posted it stopped.

Any ideas? It's still the CPU light on the motherboard that is on when it doesn't fully start up.

Well, I don't know if I'd call this a new build. I've been using it since May 2020 and only had issues in 2021 when I posted this.
