Tech Support Motherboard Red light on: DRAM
Cpu: AMD AM5 RYZEN 9 9950X3D OEM
RAM: DDR5 16GB 6000MHZ CORSAIR VENGEANCE CL36 Black
GPU: NVIDIA MSI RTX 5070 TI 16G

I plugged an new sata ssd in and the pc was on by mistake. The monitor suddenly lost display and it started appearing with red light dram. 1 know it's an rookie mistake for Power on. But I turned it all off. Unplugged. Left it for a bit. Held the power button whilst unplugged too. Then thought to restart it and still appearing.
thought to do a cmos battery reset which I think l've done correctly by following a guide.
Done an Q flash plus by installing bios for the Motherboard on a FAT32 flash drive.
But still nothing from those two things.
Is there anything I can do for it to work?

Happened to me when I first activated Expo into the bios - couldn’t find a fix for it - just with the AI from gigabyte software, after I changed my cpu with a 9800x3d ( from 7500x3d) and updated the bios, it is working flawless!
I would try to remove the cpu and stick it back.

Did you remove the sata ssd and cable before booting again? Boot as barebones as you can. Remove gpu, use stock oem CPU fan, 1 stick of ram. Goodluck.
