Issue with Asus X570 TUF featuring orange indicator and failure to boot.
Do you have the RAM slots correctly filled? (Slots 2 and 4) Sometimes Ryzen doesn't accept XMP profiles with auto-dram voltage. Try setting it manually between 1.35V and 1.40V to check for stability. You might also need to raise the SOC voltage slightly.
It sounds like a capacitor issue. It could be a bad or weakly soldered one on the board around the VRMs or near the PCIe-extension or on the used card.
They are located in slots 2 and 4 (it used to be different, but after swapping there was a minor boost). Also, turning off the xmp profile makes it boot quicker (using standard settings), though I still see all the lights—red, orange, green, etc.—just at a faster pace!
Consider whether retrying the flash makes sense given the current situation. It might be worth trying if you're confident about the steps. Also, reviewing the manual more could help clarify what you need. If the issue persists, it may not be easily resolved.
It’s important to confirm if the problem is related to a capacitor. I’m not sure about hardware changes, but perhaps someone else has similar parts available. You could consider using a CPU with lower power consumption, a different graphics card, memory without unusual RGB settings, or another mainboard. If the issue stems from a faulty mainboard or card, it may worsen over time unless you identify and fix the weak point—possibly by re-soldering it. I don’t expect a bad capacitor, but weak soldering could be the cause.
