Hey everyone, I've been having an issue with my Windows 11 computer where it sometimes boots directly into the BIOS. There are moments when the DRAM light comes on and I hear 3 beeps, but this also only happens occasionally. When it does manage to boot into Windows, it crashes immediately. I've already tried unplugging the RAM and reseating it in different slots, and I've also removed and reinserted the CPU. I'm really confused about what's going on, and I would really appreciate any help!

Definitely focus on the RAM! Be thorough and try reseating the RAM again. Sometimes, just one stick can be the culprit. If you see any errors after running MemTest86, then you'll know for sure.”}]}
Have you thought about testing your other components? You can use tools from Hiren's Boot CD to check your CPU, GPU, and drives. If you encounter a message saying 'devices changed, run setup or run defaults,' just go ahead and run the defaults for now.
It sounds like you might be dealing with a RAM issue since the DRAM light is turning on. I suggest trying to boot your computer with just one stick of RAM at a time, trying different slots. If you can borrow some working RAM from a friend, that could help you rule out whether it's your RAM that’s causing the problem. Also, running MemTest86 from a USB drive could help you check for any memory errors.
