I set up a new PC with Windows 11 and default BIOS settings except for the RAM profile, which was configured to EXPO. Everything functioned properly initially. I used Ryzen Master’s curve optimizer at the "per core" option and allowed it to complete about an hour and a half. Afterward, I accepted the changes, which prompted a warning about automatic system reset and profile application. Despite my confirmation, the machine failed to boot, displaying the yellow DRAM Q-LED light for over 30 minutes. I tried powering off completely at the PSU switch for a minute before restarting. Eventually, after roughly 30 minutes of inactivity with the same warning, the Q-LED switched to red, suggesting a CPU issue. I cleared CMOS and restarted the system, which took around 40 minutes. Since then, it has remained unresponsive, still showing the yellow DRAM light. Before any optimization, hardware was operating normally—CPU and fans worked, temperatures stayed within acceptable ranges. What could have caused this problem?

Unplug the PC from the power source. Activate the power button to discharge the capacitors, wait a few seconds. Use the CMOS reset button or take out the battery for a while, then try restarting.

It helped, but I’m curious about how Ryzen Master affected my system—possibly by overclocking a CPU core. Should I avoid using its curve optimizer moving forward?

Adjusted the BIOS configurations. Likely the action involved pressing the CMOS reset button during operation or while in hybrid sleep mode, though the process requires the device to be fully powered down.

I pressed the clear CMOS button during operation, but this happened only after three tries. The system kept showing the DRAM light for over 30 minutes each time before I managed to post.
