My specs are:
7800x3d
B650 P MSI
G.Skill CL 36 6000mhz Flare X5
1000Watts Rm1000x
I have removed all other components but I am still having the following issue:

I updated to the latest bios. The first boot seemingly went well, there was post and then the MSI setting up screen before I lost display. Now when I start, the fans spin, the debugging LED lights up on CPU DRAM and there is no display. The CPU does get warm. I tried changing the RAM slots, clearing CMOS, updating the BIOS again, reseating the CPU (as suggested on another website by a user who was having similar issues. His issue popped up whenever RAM was set higher than 4800mhz. He had to reseat the CPU to get anything to work). Nothing seems to work.

Any idea what I should try next?

There are 4 ram slots on the motherboard, from left to right, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Disconnect power. Make sure the ram sticks are in slot 2, and slot 4. Press and hold the clear cmos button for 20 seconds. Reconnect the power and start the system.

If still not working, I suggest to return the CPU, RAM, and motherboard all together to get cash back.

PS: 1st boot after clearing cmos may take long. Wait for 5 minutes before calling it has failed.

Thanks,
I was about the pack everything up and send it back but I wanted to try one last time. I waited 5 minutes after clearing the CMOS and then restarted and the PC posts! If it will do so consistently remains to be seen. 😇

I still wonder what the issue was/is.

I had bad experience with this ram model. I would avoid this model even it is free.

Try to enable EXPO and stress test the system for couple of day. Also test power cycle and make sure it boots constantly. Verify if they are working within the return Window.
