New build, yellow dram light and CPU red light, things I've attempted:
- Waited a long time hoping it was memory training
- Tested various RAM slots, only one at a time
- Updated BIOS
- Reset CMOS battery
- Verified all connections
No success yet, had a similar problem with my previous build but waited a few minutes; this one I waited 30 minutes and still nothing.
Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi
CPU: 7600X
Memory: SiliconPower Zenith RGB DDR5 16GBx2
PSU: CoolerMaster MWe Gold V2 850W
GPU: Sapphire Pulse 7800 XT

Have you tightened your cooler too much? The pins behind the CPU might be experiencing unusual pressure, leading to improper contact. Let it sit a while to relax.
