Here’s a revised version of your message:

I encountered some issues with my computer while adjusting RGB settings through APP Center and Gigabyte Control Center. After uninstalling and reinstalling both, the system would restart but fail to show anything on the monitor. The motherboard would display random error codes during restarts. Eventually, I had to power it off and back on, which still resulted in code sequences before a blank screen. The CPU fan from the AIO was also behaving strangely. I’ve tried clearing the CMOS but haven’t seen improvement. My board has dual BIOS switches, originally set to Main BIOS/Dual BIOS, so I switched to Backup and Single BIOS without success. Any suggestions?

The software likely didn't cause the backup BIOS failure. It probably points to a problem with the hardware itself. Have you attempted to remove the CMOS battery? Make sure the power supply is off and completely discharged—try starting the PC with the PSU disconnected from the wall. Sometimes simply clearing the CMOS by removing the battery for a while resolves the issue.

Consider alternative methods as well.

I haven’t attempted removing the battery or QFlash+ yet, as I’m worried it could complicate things further. I’m looking for alternative options before taking those steps.

avoid mentioning qflash, shut down the machine, disconnect it from electricity, and let the CMOS battery sit for a few hours to fully discharge the capacitors.

Because of the dual-BIOS setup, reverting to the main BIOS and performing another flash should be fine. However, since the backup won’t function, I’m not sure it’ll make a difference.

Great news! Your PC is now running smoothly with just two RAM sticks. It’s possible the Gigabyte software caused instability with the four-stick setup, or clearing the CMOS might have resolved the issue. Check your BIOS settings and OS configurations for any relevant adjustments.

It's usually not a good choice to use four sticks on AMD systems, as it often leads to problems. It seems you might have been fortunate enough that the BIOS you had before was more compatible with your RAM, and both the old and new BIOS didn't support four sticks.
