Hi,
Recently, booting up my PC required several intense restarts. The screen would display a green background and then get stuck, making it difficult to recover. I ran a RAM test using a free diagnostic tool (MemTest86), which revealed many errors. Now I’m unsure whether the problem lies with my RAM, motherboard, processor, or storage device such as an SSD.

I’d like to note that while the PC stayed locked on the first boot screen (BIOS) or when the display was blank, a red light would remain illuminated on the motherboard’s boot device. Here’s how my setup looks:
- SMPS: Thermaltake Toughpower IRGB Plus 750W 80 Plus Gold SMPS
- Processor: Intel i9 10850K
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z590 Vision D
- Graphics Card: 6GB Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra W OC 12G L-V
- RAM: 64GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 64GB (2x32GB) at 4266MHz
- SSD: 512 GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 500 GB

It's probably your RAM, especially if memtest86 showed issues, indicating a possible failure.

I swapped in a RAM module from a friend, but the system won't proceed beyond the POST screen. It remains locked at the motherboard logo, and the boot device indicator stays red on the MOBO.
