My PC is experiencing unusual boot issues. Here are the details of my system:

Motherboard:
Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
CPU:
Ryzen 7 7700
CPU Cooler:
Peerless Assassin 120 SE
GPU:
RX 7900 XT
RAM:
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo, 2x 16GB, 6000 MHz, CL30
PSU:
RM850e

Every time I power on the computer, the DRAM LED turns red on the motherboard and the system fails to boot. To resolve this, I toggle the PSU on and off, which works fine afterward. Now I can play demanding games for extended periods without any interruptions.

I’m uncertain if switching the PSU on and off regularly is safe for my PC. I’ve looked into similar problems online, but most solutions either don’t work or aren’t applicable to me.

Additionally, this machine is nearly new. I replaced the motherboard from an AsRock B650M Pro RS, which had bent CPU pins after inspection, but the issue remains.

I tried the following:
- Updating BIOS
- Adjusting stock BIOS settings
- Increasing RAM voltage
- Testing each RAM stick

I would really appreciate assistance in fixing this.

Turning PSU off and on is not harmful unless in the OS but is an indicator in your case most probably with BIOS settings. During the POST BIOS checks everything including memory settings so if it finds anything it doesn't recognize it shows error, shutting power down and turning back on forces "Memory training mode" recognizes memory and it's JEDEC and XMP presets and adjusts accordingly.
First make sure that RAMs are inserted in right lots and set to defaults in BIOS, no XMP or EXPO enabled.

I looked and attempted both, but the issue remains.

Verify the CPU socket connections carefully. If feasible, capture several detailed high-resolution images of the socket from various perspectives and share them here. (Upload to imgur.com and include the link)

I might be able to test a Ryzen 7800x3d from a friend tomorrow. I plan to capture good photos then and see if it's just a faulty CPU. This board is brand new.

The chances are less likely to be bent cpu socket pins.

Okay so...
Tried the other CPU and checked for bent pins (none) - same problem
But here's the thing, for some reason I NEVER thought about
removing my 10G PCIe Ethernet Card lol
.. And it was the issue all along??? And it just appeared randomly so I didn't even think it could be cause of that?? And it also has issues on a different PC.
My bad
