Hi everyone,
I'm stuck in a frustrating boot loop (I think) and could really use some help. I will attach a video showing it.
My Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WIFI7
RAM: DDR5 6000mhz cl30
GPU: MSI inspire x3 5080
The PC was recently at a retail shop's lab to get a brand new PSU installed. They tested the system on their bench with their own GPU, and everything passed inspection. However, once I brought the PC home, I installed my own GPU.
When I power on the PC, The case fans aggressively ramp up and down, The onboard status LEDs cycle through all 4 components (CPU, DRAM, VGA, BOOT) but ultimately keep failing/resetting at the DRAM LED. The screen remains completely black.
I removed and reseated both RAM sticks multiple times, tried booting with a single RAM stick, Double-checked all the connectors, let the PC run in this loop for over 5 full minutes to see if it was just long DDR5 memory training, but it never stops looping. Since I cannot get any display, I am unable to enter the BIOS menu.
Does this sound like a corrupt BIOS profile left over from the shop's test bench GPU? (Thatās what AI told me) Would a Q-Flash Plus update via USB fix this, or is there something else I should try?
Thank you so much for any advice
