The system experiences a black screen with an underline in the top-left corner, causing it to restart frequently. Most of the time it boots into Windows, but it’s currently stuck at that state. All storage drives appear functional, though the PC won’t start reliably. RAM tests reveal inconsistent behavior—working when removed and failing when inserted in a specific order. The issue seems tied to the arrangement of RAM modules rather than hardware failure.

A common fix involves inserting RAM sticks in the same sequence as they’re listed on the motherboard manual. This method often resolves boot problems by ensuring proper communication between the CPU and memory. Trying this order should help restore a stable boot process.
