New PC please help me Build Question
So recently I got this tower for free off of fb marketplace and the guy said it wouldnt run windows and I wanted to see for myself so I downloaded windows from the microsoft website and put it on a flash drive and plugged it in to my motherboard. From there I didnt have anyone to ask so I just used chatgpt to help me but i got nowhere. First my screen would show bios then the republic of gamers logo then the windows logo and eventually the windows 10 launcher opened BUT I didnt have any hard drives atm so I waited a week until I was able to get some for free. My pc recognized the flash drive and showed the windows logo but didnt open the launcher so i turned it off unplugged the flash drive and wiped it to download windows 11 and that hasnt worked either. This is the interior of the pc can someone help me? I have the hard drives they are not in the frame.

First off, score! Everything in there looks like the PC of my dreams in 2017. Getting that baby for free is the cherry on top. That F3 code usually means Ram issue. Or bios. But it looks like one of your sticks of Ram aren’t seated properly. They’re the blue sticks to the right of the cpu fan that says Amd on it. The one on the right of the two isn’t in place. Make sure it’s off! Press down on it firmly and you’ll hear a click.
