I recently started making my first PC. I don't have a lot of money so I went out on a limb and bought most of the parts used. I ended up buying a motherboard off of Ebay - Asus Rog Strix x570-i. It seemed like it was in good condition but I figured you can't tell unless you inspect it yourself. When I bought the board, it was covered in thermal paste. The CPU slot and RAM slots had some inside them. I cleaned them out as best I can but the PC won't post. I checked the ram in another computer and it worked fine. What should I do to figure out what is causing the problem?
