I need some help! I previously installed two sticks of 32GB Corsair Dominator DDR5 RAM in my PC, and they worked great. Since I do a lot of AI and 3D rendering work, I decided to upgrade by adding another 64GB of RAM. However, after installing the new sticks, my PC won't post at all. I see a yellow LED on the DRAM section of my motherboard. I waited around for 45 minutes thinking it could be memory training, but nothing happened. What can I do to fix this? Here are my specs: Intel i9 14900k, RTX 4090, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium, and a Gigabyte Aorus Pro X.

Try clearing the CMOS with the new RAM still installed. It could trigger the memory retraining process that gets your PC back into working order.
Try removing the two new sticks, boot up your PC, head into BIOS, and disable XMP. After that, reinstall the new RAM. DDR5 can be tricky with four sticks, so it's worth a shot!
I didn't even have XMP enabled, so I'm not sure how that affects things.
You might want to clear the CMOS after taking out the new RAM. Once you've done that, put the RAM back in and see if it helps!
Could you explain how to clear the CMOS? I'm still new to all this.
But how can you access BIOS without any RAM? That seems tricky.
