I'm building a new PC using an MSI MAG Tomahawk B760 WiFi motherboard for Intel processors. I've purchased Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory (model CMK32GX5M2E6000Z36), but the box indicates it's meant for AMD systems. When I try to power on the PC, it doesn't start, and the motherboard's DRAM LED indicates an error. I've already tried changing the RAM slots and using only one stick at a time, but the issue persists. Can anyone tell me if my RAM is compatible with my motherboard or if the RAM or motherboard might be defective? Thanks for any help!

Just curious, which CPU are you using with your setup?
It looks like your RAM might not be compatible with your motherboard. If it’s possible, try updating the BIOS without a CPU installed; sometimes that helps with RAM issues. Otherwise, you might want to look for RAM that's specifically designed for Intel and supports XMP profiles for better compatibility.
