I upgraded my motherboard and installed a new one. The PC started up properly the first time, though it took a while due to the DRAM warning. After a few minutes, the fans slowed down, restarted, and then worked normally again. Everything seemed fine overall. My brother played on the PC, left it running, and later exited the game. He said he wanted to download something but then left the machine off. When he returned, it turned back on only when he clicked the mouse—possibly in sleep mode. This time, it didn’t work as expected. Details: Motherboard: GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB RAM: 1 stick Corsair LPX 8GB Storage: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200rpm Power Supply: Corsair CX 550. I’ve tried reseating RAM, changing slots, and resetting BIOS via jumper pins, but nothing helped. The red DRAM warning stayed on, occasionally flashing a yellow CPU error light for a few minutes. Thanks!

Test each stick individually and clarify what exactly was being downloaded.

You’re using just one stick, nothing suspicious—just some in-game mods for Arma 3 via the launcher.

Verify the CPU and look for any signs of damage (including memory channels). Test the RAM on another machine, such as a friend's computer, to see if it functions. If successful, the issue might be a corrupted driver; otherwise, check for hardware problems.

No harm to the CPU at all. It seems uncertain, maybe I should bring it to a repair shop for inspection.

I verified the situation and noticed your RAM model isn<|pad|>, which isn't included in the supported list. Could that be the reason?

It's not clear what QVL list is, but they can't test each item individually. The imc should manage it.
