Reordered the same board because the motherboard pins were damaged. On startup, the CPU indicator lights up and then stops at the yellow DRAM light. The system occasionally flickers to a red CPU LED until it turns off. Model: MSI Z390 Pro Motherboard TFORCE 4x8GB DDR4 RAM i9-11900K CPU

The looping happens due to insufficient memory training. Test with one stick to check if a specific stick or slot/channel is faulty. The 11900K cannot fit in the Z390 Pro—confirm there’s no typo.

That's correct, it's a Z590 Pro motherboard. You should test each RAM individually to check for issues. If problems persist, it might be a broader compatibility concern.

I would test each stick individually in every RAM slot, checking all 16 possible setups to determine if any will boot. Also, I reviewed the video you shared—having the cooler on the CPU is essential for several reasons. This component can overheat, and temperature safeguards may fail during the POST process. Additionally, the board doesn’t resemble the Z590-A Pro; are you certain it’s not a Gaming Plus or another variant?

This seems to be a situation where you're troubleshooting RAM issues. You're considering your own TFORCE RAM as the problem, especially since you're testing it on your second PC setup. The process involves checking if the motherboard slots are intact before proceeding with individual RAM tests.
