[SOLVED] Getting irritated - new motherboard (stuck on RED LED DRAM)

[Oxicoi]

SPECS:
b650 eagle ax
amd 9600x
rm850e PSU
kingston fury cl36 6000mt/s 32gb

Okay so I have a brother who was idiotic and tried to pull out a piece of hair from the PCIe16x slot with scissors while still powered. The motherboard sparked and it no longer turned on.

Through some troubleshooting, we ordered a new CPU, DRAM kit, PSU, and motherboard.

I am now having a stupid amount of trouble getting all these new parts to work. The motherboard keeps getting stuck on DRAM with a red debug light and it's pissing me off (to put it bluntly)

Obviously the motherboard needs to be updated to support the 9000 series and I have the usb setup correctly as FAT32 with just the flash file on it plugged into the BIOS slot, yet all it does is turn on for 1 second and do nothing.

WHAT IS GOING ON????

What are you using from the original build?

Only GPU
EDIT: Even if the GPU is not in, it still gets stuck on DRAM light red

Is this happening when you're powering it on or using the Q-Flash button on the motherboard?

The button and flash LED look to be right next to each other on the board. That LED is supposed to be blinking when the BIOS is flashing.

Both. Powering on is stuck on red DRAM and after QFLASH is finished it is stuck on DRAM as red.

This is a new motherboard, but at this point it might just be a faulty one.

Did you over tightened your cooler onto the CPU? This can cause DRAM check failed. Loose the cooler for a bit

It's definitely possible. I'd suggest checking each DIMM by itself as I just had a less than fun experience of getting a new kit with one module not working. If you happen to have access to other, known working, DDR5 trying a module of that would be another option.

Okay so solution was trying to properly get QFLASH to work. I had to get USB converted to MBR, name the file GIGABYTE.bin, and only press the QFLASH button and not hold it. Not only that, I had to get the BIOS before the latest, then flash the latest once in the BIOS.

What an absolute nightmare...
