Today I received a new motherboard for my PC after the old one failed. I installed it and powered it on, but the DRAM debug LED lit up unexpectedly. I tested various steps: using only a stick of RAM, swapping both sticks, resetting BIOS, removing and reinserting the CPU, and completely taking out the GPU. Nothing resolved the issue. I also tried updating the BIOS with BIOS Flashback, but it didn’t work. Interestingly, the RGB lights started up while the board was connected. My system details: R7 3700X, 2x 16GB 3600MHz CL18 HyperX RAM, Radeon 550 2GB, Seasonic 650 PSU, and an Asus X570 TUF Gaming Pro Wi-Fi motherboard.

Checked all memory slots—could be a non-responsive CPU channel.

No bent pins detected on the CPU. The problem wasn't the same as with the earlier board.

No problem, I was really active and didn’t touch any pins. The problem with the old motherboard began after about 1 to 3 hours since I turned on the power (seriously). Once it started, the PC worked fine.
