I just built a PC for the first time in six years and I'm stuck! Everything seems to power on, but my motherboard has an orange light indicating there might be an issue, possibly with the RAM? I'm using CRUCIAL DDR5 Pro 6400. Could that be causing the problem?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a RAM issue, especially since the orange light usually points to it being faulty. Make sure the RAM sticks are properly seated in their slots. Also, check if the motherboard is compatible with your RAM speed—it might be running at a lower frequency if there’s a compatibility issue.
Just a heads up, ensure that your CPU is correctly installed too. Sometimes, if the CPU isn’t seated right, it can lead to boot issues. Try reseating the CPU and double-checking all connections. It can be a bit frustrating, but you got this!
