Consider giving your RAM a fresh install, it’s often that easy

For this matter, I recommend upgrading or updating the BIOS first among the initial troubleshooting steps.

I attempted that, but it didn't seem to work. Also tried using a single stick and adjusting the slot.

I upgraded to the newest BIOS version but it didn’t resolve the issue. I also switched the PCIe settings from automatic to 4.0/3.0, yet the VGA error persisted.

Could the system start if you reset it to its original settings, which might indicate a problem with the new SSD?

unfortunately, on the old motherboard none of the settings function (gpu bottom or top slot, no drives, single RAM, etc.). on the new motherboard, the only working setting is placing the GPU in the bottom PCIe slot.

You were using the MSI B550 board with the bottom PCIe slot (PCI_E2). Your manual indicates that this slot is disabled when you're running two NVMe drives.

I already knew about that before. After several tests, it turned out the CPU was the problem. After switching to another CPU, everything functioned properly. It looks like there was an issue specifically with the CPU and the top PCIe port.
