Why won’t my PC boot with both RAM sticks installed?

I'm facing a strange issue with my PC where it boots perfectly fine with just one RAM stick but fails to display anything when I try to use both sticks. Here's what I've got: a Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, an ASUS Prime X870-P WiFi motherboard, and 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM (two sticks). When I use either stick individually, everything works, but with both installed, the PC powers on but shows no display, and the DRAM light stays solid, indicating it won't POST. I've tested both sticks in different slots, discovered that B2 might be causing the issue, and even updated the BIOS. Was wondering if this could be a dead slot or motherboard issue, and if there's anything else I could try with voltages or settings. Also, is it safe to run the RAM in A1 and B1 if that configuration works? Any guidance would be super helpful!

It could be related to compatibility between the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. Before trying anything else, it might be worth checking the motherboard's QVL list to ensure that your specific RAM model and speed are supported. You usually need the exact name or manufacturer to look it up.
