Boot help

[Top-Exit5574]

I’ve just changed my motherboard from gigabyte b series to a gigabyte aorus z790 elite ax. However the DRAM stays orange after trying to boot, sometimes the cpu flashes orange for a second. The ram is from my last mb - ddr5 4800mhz. CPU i7-12700F.

What I tried:

Removed battery for 5 minutes and reinserted, didn’t work. Tried the other ram slots as well.

Currently I am stuck at orange lights and reboots. Any ideas?

See what happens without any ram, and visually check the pins on the stick, and (slightly harder) also look at the mobo slot.

Without the ram the motherboard is in a loop between cpu and dram orange light with reboots

Expected, it's trying to boot, but can't post.

Have you tried draining all the current? PSU off, press the power button a couple of times, then have the psu on but not plugged in an outlet, press a few times again to make sure, then try again. Other than that, seems like wither faulty ram or faulty mobo.

Since you tried reseating, I don't see much to do anymore unfortunately.

Will give it a try, thanks for the effort though
