I recently purchased a new computer with specs of an R5 3600, 2x8 3200MHz RAM, and a B550 MSI mortar drive. When I first tried to boot it, the motherboard debug LED stayed stuck on DRAM. Does this indicate faulty RAM even though the RGB lighting on my Corsair Vengeance is working? I've booted multiple times but it still won't start. My follow-up concern is whether this new PC will boot properly despite having existing Windows installations and files. I previously removed display drivers to ensure fresh drivers if needed.
Reinstall the RAM one at a time, reset the CMOS. The lights indicating power aren’t confirming functionality—they just mean the power is on. It could also suggest you need to recheck your CPU connections.
I generally avoid installing Windows on completely different hardware. Problems are common. Yet it's also conceivable that it might function. Just give it a try, I suppose.
