I just built a new PC with a Gigabyte Gaming H810 WiFi 6 motherboard and a used 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 kit, which I got from a second-hand store. After powering it up, I noticed that the CPU debug LED lights up briefly before switching to the DRAM LED and staying lit. I've tried reseating the RAM and testing it in different slots several times, but I still have the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

It sounds like either your CMOS battery might be dead or the RAM is defective. Have you tried swapping out the CMOS battery? Sometimes just reseating it can help. If that doesn't solve the issue, it might be worth looking into getting a different RAM kit.
Your H810 motherboard may struggle with high-speed memory like your 6000MHz kit. Even if it's supposed to be compatible, boards like this often have trouble with such fast RAM. Make sure your BIOS is updated—old versions often lack the necessary updates for proper memory training. If that doesn't help, you may need to consider a new motherboard.
Thanks for the advice! I'll see if the new RAM works, but if it doesn’t, I guess I'll have to look into upgrading my motherboard.
I removed the CMOS battery and waited a bit before putting it back in, but no luck yet. I've just ordered a new RAM kit, so hopefully that will solve it.
