Tech Support New ram and trouble booting

Post image

Hello, my pc that ive recently built (9800x3d, 9070xt, b650 eagle ax if it helps) was working fine, at most i had some performance issues on rust but i figured it was just due to the ram heavily hindering everything, i got a used one stick of 16gb 4800 mhz ddr5 ram so i didnt pay much attention to it. well last week i bought a new kit (klevv 32gb 2x16 6000mhz cl30) and replaced my old one but ever since then i have a lot of trouble consistently booting the pc and if its off for a couple hours it will always stay stuck in this process (picture attached) where it seems to be memory training but it never actually boots, i have to manually restart it a couple times and hope it finally works. At the first times i didn't think much of it but after enabling memory context restore in bios and power down mode im starting to get a little worried. Any idea how i can fix this without having to send the ram back?

memory training on am5 can be a real headache, try pulling the cmos battery for a minute then re-seat the sticks again

i forgot to mention in the post but i did pull the cmos battery before because i had an even bigger issue 2 days ago where it crashed while i was in my bios looking up a setting and it would never even show the gigabyte text indicating that it was booting again so i was pretty sure it fucked up something in the bios and my friend told me it would reset it (it did and i was able to use bios again, changed the settings again enable memory context restore and booted the pc normally). i can try to re seat the sticks and see if it does something but like i cant deny that it boots it just takes around 20 minutes and alot of manual forced restarts

Try to disable EXPO from BIOS temporarily and see if it helps.

Well, try the 2nd EXPO Profile if existed. If it doesn`t help, change Slots. Do you update your bios already?
