I've been having a tough time here. My MSI Z590 Pro has an 11700kf chipset, and when I power it on, the DRAM lights up in an amber hue and forces me to enter BIOS repeatedly. I've checked the RAM, the slots, the storage, and even swapped out the graphics card. I flashed the BIOS, reset the CMOS battery, but nothing seems to work. I'm running out of ideas. Am I damaged? I can still boot into Windows via a boot override. Need some help!

It’s not obvious what’s happening here. Is the DRAM indicator indicating an issue, or is it just a distraction? For example, does it mention a failed boot, or do you jump straight into the BIOS? If you manage to boot into Windows, everything seems to function normally afterward. When did this start occurring? Have you recently reinstalled Windows or installed another SSD?

It doesn't indicate a boot failure. The system immediately transitions to the BIOS after a brief pause when the MSI logo appears. Windows functions normally once I bypass the issue, and all hardware components appear correctly. The problem began roughly three days ago. I reinstalled Windows to address the concern, then used another SSD, but the same outcome occurred. I was consistently directed to the BIOS.
