Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with my PC after replacing the RAM. I originally had two 16GB G.Skill Flare X5 6000Hz sticks, but I was getting blue screens with both installed. They seemed to work fine when I used just one stick, so I sent them back under warranty, but it could take 2-4 weeks for that to sort out. In the meantime, I borrowed a single G.Skill Flare X5 6000MHz stick with a 32 CL from a friend. Now, when I try to power on the PC, I get no display on the screen, and the CPU and DRAM debug lights are both on. My PC specs are a Ryzen 5 7600X processor and an RTX 5070 GPU. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

Good on you for making sure the RAM is seated properly with the clicks! But just to rule out things, try using the first slot on the motherboard instead of the second. Sometimes the slots can behave differently, and this could be affecting your boot. If that doesn’t work, we might need to dig deeper.
You might want to try turning on AMD EXPO and then putting both RAM sticks back in. It's possible that one of them is faulty and will need to be returned, but it’s worth a shot just to see if it works with the right settings.
Double-check that the RAM stick is in the correct slot as per your motherboard manual. Sometimes it can look like it's in there properly but isn't making a solid connection. Give it a firm push to ensure it’s seated correctly. Also, when you change the RAM, give your PC some time to retrain the memory — it might take about 10-20 minutes and could reboot itself during that time, so just leave it running. If it still doesn't boot after that, we might need to troubleshoot further.
