Hey everyone, I just moved my build onto a different motherboard and ran into a specific issue. After resetting the CMOS, the system boots normally and handles load well. But when I restart it, it fails the POST test and shows a yellow light indicating a DRAM problem. Clearing the CMOS is necessary to get it back online. I didn’t turn on EXPO or any other overclocking settings. Here’s what I’ve tried: reinstalling everything, using just one RAM stick in either slot, updating the BIOS, and even rolling back the BIOS after waiting an hour. I’m trying to figure out exactly which component is faulty so I can return or replace it. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Thanks a lot for your help.

Consider reinstalling the CPU. Examine the pins in the socket carefully for any bent ones.

I attempted it but the issue continues. The pins weren't bent either. I'll be returning the motherboard and ordering a new RAM.

Updated RAM and motherboard still cause the same issue.
