I assembled my initial computer two days ago and when powering it up the error light appeared, thinking it was just initializing the memory. It stayed on a steady red for about an hour without any action. I replaced the RAM, tested both modules in separate slots, and tried each one alone. Recently I got new RAM with reduced performance, likely due to AMD’s suggested speeds for the 7800X3D being lower than my previous purchase. The slowest speed I found was around 6000 MHz, but the site mentions it can be downclocked to 5200 MHz—AMD’s recommended rate—but that hasn’t resolved the problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Verify the CPU placement. Uneven mounts can prevent proper contact with RAM pins. Could you tell me the motherboard model? Also, don’t worry about memory speed unless you’ve turned on XMP or a similar setting.
