I recently built a new PC to fix some previous RAM compatibility issues. My setup, which I finished in February, includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a Gigabyte 2070 Super graphics card, an ASUS TUF Gaming B650-E motherboard, and Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 RAM. Everything has been running smoothly until last night when I shut it down normally. When I powered it on this morning, it just runs without booting—fans are spinning and the RGB lights up, but the monitors aren't receiving any input. I'm looking for advice on how to resolve this issue or prevent it from happening again. I have a warranty on the parts and I'm considering getting new RAM, but I want to explore all options before taking that step.

I wouldn’t jump straight to RAM incompatibility just yet. The yellow 'DRAM' light on your motherboard indicates there’s a memory issue, but it might not necessarily mean the RAM is incompatible. It's more likely a configuration problem with the settings. You might need to do a CMOS reset and then adjust your memory settings. Keep an eye on the troubleshooting guides or forums for your motherboard; they can offer some tips!
It sounds like you might not have a RAM incompatibility if the system has run fine before. Have you tried powering it down completely and reseating the RAM sticks? Sometimes, a poor connection can cause issues like this. If the CMOS reset didn’t work, this might be worth a shot. Also, check your BIOS settings to make sure everything is configured correctly. If you're still struggling, let us know!
