I've been having this issue where every few days or so, the EZ Debug DRAM LED is shining white and there's no video output, but if I power down and then attempt to boot again, everything boots just fine and there doesn't seem to be any issues when using the computer.

I went through google but I couldn't find anything relating to my exact issue, just people having no boot at all. Hoping this is just an oversight somewhere, but any advice would be appreciated as I'm totally clueless as to how to approach this issue.

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Does the issue crop up when you're working with another kit of ram? How are you cooling the processor in your build? Temps when you experience the issue?
 
BIOS version: E7C79IMS.1D0
BIOS build date: 08/27/2023
I'm reluctant to update the version as I have heard of issues with this particular motherboard.
I don't have another kit of RAM.
The cooling system is a Corsair H100x and 5 120mm case fans.
I don't know the temps because the PC doesn't boot to any display when this happens (as mentioned in my post) but I assume everything is the usual 30-40c.
