DDR5 is known for its extended memory testing (~5-10 minutes), but most users only notice the RAM indicator. Both CPU and RAM lights on together are unusual. Usually, you should focus on checking if another motherboard can help pinpoint the issue. You can try these steps: Inspect the socket for bent pins, update the BIOS using the BIOS flashback feature.
Just secured a boot with one stick of RAM. After that, I managed a boot with two sticks. It’s strange since I always need both sticks from each kit I purchased—I can’t collect four at once. It doesn’t seem logical. The design seems to require four sticks for optimal performance. I was hoping for 64GB and wanted the flexibility of four sticks. Does this sound like a limitation?
Do you see the RAM options listed for your motherboard's specifications? Ryzen usually has specific requirements for compatible memory.
It seems there might be some confusion about the setup. The design doesn't support 4 sticks at once, which is why MSI added extra slots. Also, using just one stick from each kit should work fine—avoiding the issue with the remaining two.
I checked the setup process and confirmed the correct configuration for your G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo. The issue likely stems from a mismatch in the drive selection or a bootloader problem. Try selecting the correct drive in BIOS/UEFI and ensure all cables are properly connected. If the problem persists, reinstalling the bootloader might help.
