My story today is a bit more painful. I have a TUF GAMING x570 wi-fi plus motherboard, and a 5600x AMD CPU. But... The BIOS shipped by the motherboard is too old, and so the Asus QLED light, the yellow one for DRAM, is permanently on and I cannot even get to POST or BIOS.
Turns out you need to upgrade the BIOS before putting this CPU in, but to do that you first need a lower spec CPU 🤦
I've just spent hours thinking the RAM was faulty, and it's just an old BIOS on a new motherboard.
Nice.
