What components are known to be working? Or is this a collection of second-hand parts that you've assembled?
Do the system diagnostic lights reveal anything? The service manual shows them:

Additionally, is that a Dell OEM Aurora R12 replacement motherboard or some unknown 3rd party motherboard?

It contains the alienware logo head.. they are all parts off of ebay pieced together by myself.. I have ordered a different cpu.. an i7-11700? Im hoping the integrated graphics will take over so I can update the flash bios.. Will keep u posted when it arrives

@Scott Hotchkiss Interesting. Is this in an R12 case? I am a bit confused as to why you would piece it together for an R12 case as in my opinion there are better case options out there.
If this is an Alienware R12 motherboard: they do not support integrated graphics.
Also, if this is an R12 motherboard it supports the 11900KF out of the box, so a BIOS update would not make a difference to the CPU support options.
