Approaching a mental breakdown, I tried everything I had made—several computers before—but this problem is driving me crazy... I set up an MSI Z690 with force Wi-Fi, Trident 32GB DDR5, 6000W PSU, and it works fine with the MB QL. The GPU is an I7 12700K with a 3080 OC white VGA, powered by a 1300W PSU. There’s a debug light that stays lit. I’ve tested three GPUs: 3080, 3090, and 6900X. The 3080/3090 sometimes boots but rarely shows the VGA light at all. The 6900X always has the VGA light on. My last attempt was removing a RAM stick; now it boots normally across all GPUs, though the VGA still flickers. If I use two sticks, it only boots briefly on the 3080/90, but the 6900X keeps the debug light blinking white. I’ve taken the machine apart, and it runs on other systems with DDR4 and the same PSU.

Replace the CPU. Look for any particles or issues inside the socket or on the CPU pads.

The system starts up correctly, so the problem isn’t there.

Verify your motherboard BIOS version and ensure it matches the latest updates available.

Never attempted to refresh the MB BIOS since the latest version doesn’t anticipate any problems?

The VGA indicator disappeared following the BIOS update, but I managed to fast-start. I attempted to install two RAM modules, yet the system won’t boot and the VGA light is missing.
