The DRAM Light flashes briefly during gaming sessions. The computer appears to operate normally.
Hello, I'm trying to understand what could be happening with my system or if this is typical.
System Details
CPU: i5-13600K
GPU: RTX 3080ti
RAM: T-Force Delta RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 XMP 3.0 Dual Channel RAM Kit (2 x 16GB)
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z790-A WIFI
Power Supply: COOLER MASTER V850 GOLD
The DRAM indicator will appear randomly on the motherboard while gaming, particularly when shaders load in Borderlands 4.
I sometimes see it for a second and my game stutters briefly. It's not always consistent, but the red light on the motherboard does illuminate. I've heard there might be memory issues with the 13th generation Intel processors—could this be connected?
Any advice or information would be really helpful!

What BIOS version are you using for your motherboard?
Power Supply: COOLER MASTER V850 GOLD
How long has your PSU been in use?
I've heard there could be memory problems with the 13th generation Intel, but more likely it's a manufacturing defect affecting the processor across the entire 13th Gen line. The 14th Gen had firmware issues.
