I am building my first PC and I have been having trouble with the motherboard and my RAM. I am using an ASUS TUF Gaming B650 Plus Wifi with a Ryzen 7 7700x CPU and a Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000MHz 2x24GB sticks. When I put both sticks in the recommended slots (A2 and B2) I get the DRAM light, if I put one stick into B2 it boots into the BIOS page (both sticks work).
Troubleshooting I have done:
[ol]
[li]Reset CMOS by removing the battery and then placing it back[/li][li]Updating the BIOS with the EZ Flashback using a USB drive[/li][li]Initially, the RAM I had bought was not compatible so I bought new RAM that I triple-checked was compatible from the ASUS motherboard support page[/li][/ol]
How can I test that the motherboard is faulty? And since I have 24 GB of RAM with one stick (which is sufficient for most), is there anything I can download or update once the system boots to fix the problem?
