For @dmented776 — useful follow-ups beyond the suggestions already posted by @Archie111 and @TheNewNormal. A freeze during the POST "CPU / RAM ID" step usually means the board started POST but hit a low-level hardware fault (socket/power/short) or a failed component. The quickest way to narrow this down is a small, deliberate isolation sequence and a careful visual inspection.

Steps to try (in order)

• Power off and unplug, then remove the motherboard from the case and place it on a nonconductive surface (cardboard) so the case cannot short anything.
• Connect only the PSU 24-pin and the CPU 4/8-pin, the CPU fan header, and a speaker/header for POST beeps. Power on and listen: if you get standard RAM/memory error beeps when RAM is removed or moved, the CPU and basic power are likely OK; complete silence with fans spinning points to a CPU, socket, or power-rail problem.
• Visually inspect the CPU/socket area with good light or a magnifier. For LGA sockets check the tiny pins in the socket; for pinned CPUs check the CPU pins. Bent or damaged pins are a common result when the retention lever was moved and will cause exactly this symptom. If pins look bent, do not try dramatic repairs unless experienced — LGA pins are fragile.
• Check for motherboard damage: bulging caps, burn marks, or conductive debris (thermal paste, dust) in the socket area. Also verify the 4/8-pin CPU power cable is actually seated — a missing CPU power lead can let fans spin but prevent POST.

If those checks are inconclusive, the fastest definitive test is swapping parts: a known-good compatible CPU in the board, or your CPU in another compatible board. If you cannot swap parts, a local repair shop can perform those swaps and read motherboard debug LEDs/beeps. If the CPU was powered without proper cooling and visual inspection or swaps show failure, component replacement or RMA is likely. Take standard ESD precautions throughout.
