I've been having trouble with my 3-year-old PC. It's been showing odd behavior lately and now it won't boot at all, with the motherboard lights alternating between red and orange. I've tried multiple solutions from online searches but nothing has worked. Here's what I have: an Asus TUF X670e Plus WiFi motherboard, a Ryzen 7800X3D CPU, and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM. I've even ordered a new motherboard just in case, but I'm trying to avoid spending more money on new RAM in this economy. Any advice would be appreciated!

What have you already tried to fix the issue? It's helpful to know what hasn't worked before we suggest new solutions. It sounds like you've done a few things already, but any additional info would help.
It sounds like you've been through quite a bit already! Reseating the CPU and RAM is a good first step. Have you checked if your BIOS update was properly applied? Sometimes those updates can be finicky. Also, make sure your power supply is delivering enough wattage—under-volting can cause boot issues too!

Yeah, the BIOS update seemed to help for a little while, but the problem came back. I’ll double-check the power supply, thanks for the tip!
