New computer build troubleshooting

My daughter and I built a new PC for gaming. It now has Windows and Steam, and appears to be working, but I am not sure if all is well with the graphics card and liquid cooling system. OK, now it just did it again. Something is not right. Can you lend me the benefit of your lights?

We built a delightfully black and white and RGB'd all over PC with the following components:


Now here's what it's doing: When it turns on, everything lights up in beautiful rainbow colors including the graphics card, but after a few moments, the lights on the graphics card turn off (I can't tell if the fans are still spinning when that happens). The graphics card did not fit easily into the case; we had to kind of push on it to get the case door to close, and it is right up against the glass of the case. But my motherboard does not have onboard graphics so if I'm seeing anything on the monitor, the graphics card is working, right?

I am also a little nervous about the liquid cooling system -- it lights up, the fans on the radiator are spinning, but how do I know the pump is working?
