Hello, I just updated the system for someone, but it keeps restarting without booting. It seems stuck during the initialization of RAM—DRAM and CPU flashes work, but after a full shutdown it powers up normally. EXPO remains unchanged. The specs are: Aorus B850m Elite WIFI6E ICE Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Acer Predator Vesta II 32GB (16GBx2), 6000MHz CL30, Zotac RTX 4080, Super Cosair RM 850. I’m not sure if it’s a RAM issue since I don’t have spare DDR5. It boots fine unless it’s a cold boot.

How much time did you have to wait before it started? Occasionally it runs memory training and it might need a few minutes. This is based on the assumption you're using AM5.

I believe the issue lasted about 15 minutes. I couldn't stand waiting any longer, so I performed a hard reset and everything started working properly without any problems. This only occurs during restarts. It functions correctly if you shut down the PC completely and then restart it.

It's normal for stock RAM speeds to fluctuate. I'm just starting out with AM5 and considering a bit more power or reducing the memory frequency.
