Question Board has to be dying, right?

[_Kyzer]

I've RMA'd 3 sets of RAM, after that still got a whole new set, and still my computer refuses to turn on occasionally and just does the orange DRAM light boot after boot until eventually it comes out it after restarting it about fifteen thousand times. It does this particularly more often after any single BIOS setting is changed.

The memory is not overclocked, I've reverted the CPU to default settings, and it's never fixed. My board just has to be dying at this point because I don't have any clue what else it could be.

Crucial 4x32gb 3200mhz @ 22
MSI Radeon 6800XT 16GB
SuperFlower Leadex Platinum 1600w
Some misc PCI-E cards (USB 3.1 front/back, Bluetooth + WiFi) plus maxed out M.2's with NVMe's

Did you try dropping the processor onto another known working motherboard with the right BIOS version to see if the processor/integrated memory controller on your processor might be showing signs of a departure?

Quite possibly the boards all came from the same batch. Either that or the BIOS for the boards were all corrupt or badly designed. Have you tried working with just 2 sticks of ram on slots A2 and B2?

Is this the board;

you're working with? If so, BIOS version 5604 isn't listed on their support site. 5602 is the latest listed.

Then its 5602
I haven't tried another board since I don't have one. I do have another processor I could try but that seems like an oddly specific issue.
Also I have tried only the slot pair which is closest to the CPU (as in Yes no Yes no) and that worked fine for a while when I was RMAing.

I replaced CPU and now it’s even worse. Well, it doesn’t do the DRAM light thing anymore, but it won’t even boot to Windows and just ends up getting BSOD at “CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED” every time it tries to boot.

I reset fTPM but there was no BitLocker so that should be irrelevant.

I even tried taking canned air and a toothbrush to the socket and it doesn’t matter. I know this R7 2700X worked before. It has to be the board.
