The Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi motherboard became stuck with the DRAM light after a BIOS flash. It jumped to a new version, told it would restart, but after a short black screen it froze for about ten minutes. I forced a power-down and restarted normally; the board stayed on and handled the issue. Fans and GPU worked, though the motherboard lights remained off except during startup. A green light appeared briefly when powering on, then it switched back to DRAM after a couple seconds before looping again. I tried reinserting RAM and clearing CMOS, but nothing resolved the problem.

I don't have a CPU or BIOS information to report. Could you clarify which system you're referring to?

Your CPU model is AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and you've moved to F51.

It’s simple to identify the problem. Upgrading to F51 with a Ryzen 5600x won’t work, as this model only supports BIOS versions F60 or newer.

Maybe, depending on your needs and the device you're using.

This board isn't compatible with Q-Flash Plus, requiring a previous generation processor.

I noticed a mention of a bootup kit on another forum, but I couldn't locate it. It seems the product might not be available anymore or has been discontinued.

You might want to lower your settings and revert to an even older model. (Consider moving up to F63 or F64e instead of going down). The "Boot Kit" is AMD's temporary solution for a compatible AMD CPU, allowing you to refresh the BIOS. After fixing things, return the kit once your system is running properly.
