Question Orange DRAM light after MB, RAM CPU upgrade - please help.

[paulgreeny83]

My original system:

-X470F Rog Strix
-5800x3d
-32Gb (4x8) 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM
-RTX5080
-3 sata drives one with Windows 11.

Obviously the GPU is new but the system was stable as hell. Tonight upgraded to:

-X870 Plus WiFi
-9800x3d
-Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (2x32) 6000MHz

Sticks are in A2 and B2.

Orange DRAM light, no windows boot, shuts off after 60 seconds.

Cleared CMOS with button press and with battery removal. Tried switching the RAM sticks around and just using 1.

The X870 only has 2 SATA ports (M.2 on the way), so I’m not sure I have the windows SATA connected as I stupidly didn’t note which was which before tearing down - but that isn’t causing a DRAM light and failure to boot or even power up the monitor. I’ve also tried all of them just to be sure and rebooted.

I’m sure the RAM is compatible with the board.

Anything obvious I’m not considering based on the above before I start replacing hardware?

power supply ? what brand and how old

EVGA 750 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 750W. 6 years old. Ran the last setup absolutely fine and this new setup is virtually the same power draw. Everything lights up so don’t think it’s a power issue.
