BSOD loop ?
BSOD loop ?
Hi everyone,
I recently set up a new system and listed the specifications at the bottom. From the beginning, I faced problems with the motherboard, RAM, and BIOS. On the first boot, it didn’t power on at all—just stayed idle with the orange DRAM indicator lit. I was told to wait a bit before the RAM would start up, but that didn’t help. I tried turning it off and spoke several words, retried, but only managed to install one stick of RAM in the A1 slot. Still nothing. I assumed the issue was with the hardware.
RMAd informed me about both the board and RAM tested by the company I bought from, who immediately sent them to me. However, only the motherboard arrived.
I then bought more RAM, and things started to improve. I managed to install Windows with just one stick of RAM in the A1 slot. Once satisfied, I shut down the PC to install additional M.2 drives and storage, but I encountered a BSOD loop with the same error codes repeatedly.
I attempted a Windows clean install using a USB drive, but it failed. Eventually, I decided to perform another clean installation. Unfortunately, this time the system wouldn’t boot from the USB at all—only showing an orange screen with vertical lines and a lot of bad words.
I recalled that Windows tends to reject installations when more than 16GB of RAM is installed. So I removed the second stick of RAM. Suddenly, it worked again. Now, whenever I install the second stick after getting the orange DRAM light back on, it still doesn’t boot. But when I remove it, it does. Is this RAM slot faulty, or am I missing something small?
The manufacturer confirmed everything was fine during testing, and provided screenshots and photos as proof.
My new RAM passed testing on my friend’s PC yesterday—100% stable in a 1-hour MemTest.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you located the correct motherboard guide.
Go through the entire guide carefully and verify each detail as you read.
Focus on the supported RAM configurations in Page vi and on pages 1-11.
Check online for the latest information about supported RAM from the manufacturer's site.
Please be certain there are no missed or overlooked details about the installed RAM.
