Hello everyone. I purchased a new motherboard B450-F Strix and used A2 and B2 slots. I’m seeing an orange light now. When I tried one stick, it worked and booted normally, but with two sticks the orange light appears. *I’ve checked both RAM modules and they’re functioning properly.* I’m using a Ryzen 3600.

If it won’t boot, reset the CMOS first. Proceed by testing each stick individually, inspecting the CPU for any damaged pins.

Cpus appear to be okay. One stick functioned well. However, with two sticks it doesn't work properly.

Test each slot using both sticks. Recheck the CPU once more, then erase the CMOS. This confirms it because the steps verify consistency. Try starting with one stick, switch to the other, and see if it works.

That's what I accomplished. Both units function properly. I explored every RAM configuration. The issue arises only when using the dual sticks. I also adjusted the CMOS settings. Nothing worked.

Consider testing the sticks in another system if feasible. If they function in dual channel, it might indicate a faulty memory channel. However, we cannot be certain.

They seem to function together in a similar way. Yes, you can enable XMP.

That's correct, it's a single channel situation. You're right about that.

Test both sticks simultaneously in another system and verify. Also, consider updating the BIOS and review.
