I'm building a gaming PC and I've run into an issue. My ASUS TUF Gaming X870 Plus WiFi motherboard lights up orange for the RAM when I power it on. Initially, it booted to the BIOS, but now the orange light just stays on. Does anyone have suggestions for how to fix this?

Hey there! It sounds like the RAM might not be playing nice with your motherboard. First, I’d suggest checking for a BIOS update. Sometimes, the speed of the RAM isn't fully supported right out of the box, which can cause those orange lights. After updating, try turning on the XMP (or it might be called AXMP, EXPO, or DOCP) to set a standard profile for your RAM—it should help things run a bit smoother. Let me know if that works!
I tried that, but it still didn't work. We even disabled the PC Secure boot option, but no luck. The motherboard had been showing different colors before, so I'm not sure what's up.
