problems with gaming edge ac

Hello. I've just got a new PC built and i ran to a couple of issues on the first run:

It started with my motherboard displaying error leds on VGA and RAM sticks. No display on monitor's screen, no power to the mouse and keyboard. Then i disconnected the GPU and connected display port to MB. VGA led started blinking and disappeared after 5 seconds leaving only RAM leds lighted. Mouse and keyboard got power, but still no display on the monitor screen. Then i removed the CMAS battery from the motherboard and inserted it after 5 minutes. Now without the GPU the BOOT error led is lighted and RAM sticks. With the GPU it stays the same as before.
Every cable got double checked and everything is connected. Tried reconnecting RAM and reconnecting CPU. No beeps at all, ever.
Could the cause be the BIOS or RAM or something else?

specs:
MSI MPG z390 Gaming Edge AC
GeForce RTX 2080s Gaming OC
i9 9900k
Corsair TX850M 850W
G.SKILL Aegis 32GB 3000 MHz DDR4
ADATA 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe XPG SX6000 Pro
 
Try each stick of RAM seperately and in different slots, also rest bios to default so RAM is not running at XMP settings, it should be running at 2133/2400 JEDEC see if this helps.

Nothing new, both ram separated got lighted LED next to them and BOOT LED.

Also forgot to mention that connected GPU now lights battery LED on GPU along with VGA error (no boot error) after reseting BIOS to factory settings
 
i would suspect that something is wrong for 3.3/5volt supply, becouse you have troubleshoot on ram, if you have spare ram make a test on it, im not expert anyway so yeah:)
