A couple months ago i recently upgraded my computer to a 9800x3d paired with the Asus Rog Strix x870-A Gaming Wifi Motherboard. ive had reacurring issues with no post / windows blue screens ect. originally when i first put it together it wouldnt post at all. got ahold of customer support and had me over the phone take out the m.2's gpu and every non essential startup component (aka 1 stick of ram, cpu, cpu cooler, and psu) and it seemed to fix my issue for a short time even after putting everything back in and updating to newest bio's (at the time). i then proceeded to have constant window's bluescreens multiple times a day all reffering to ram issues. at the time i had 2x32gb corsair vengeance at 5400 mhz. i swapped out the ram to 2x32gb cruscial pro 6400mhz sticks and it stopped all my issues for about 2 months or so. i have changed nothing and let bios determine ram speed automatically. today i did a quick system restart as my games were acting a little weird and now a orange q-led light is constantly on and it stays a black screen refuseing to post. i have done the minimal system start, updated bios to the lastest version as well as the version prior, i have tested multiple different ram sticks one at a time in all slots and for some reason it still refuses to boot or even get past the black screen keeping the orange q-led light on the top right of the motherboard on. i cant even load into bios to see what the setting's currently are let alone change them to see if that helps. System spec's are currently, Asus Rog Strix x870A gaming wifi motherboard, AMD ryzen 7 9800x3d, asus TUFF 4070ti super, 2x32gb sticks of Crucial pro ram sticks at 6400mhz, psu asus rog 850w, 3 acer predator M.2's 1 1tb 1 2tb and 1 4tb and a Asus Ryujin III 240 AIO. can someone help by chance? this was a expensive upgrade and ive had nothing but issues with it from the get go.

Hello @CyflameloL
Thank you for reaching out to us, and sorry for any inconvenience caused by the delayed response.
Could you please confirm whether you are still experiencing the same abnormal behavior? Since you mentioned that the issue began after replacing the CPU, we recommend checking for any bent CPU pins or ensuring that the CPU is not installed too loosely or too tightly.
Additionally, please also confirm whether the memory module you are using is listed in the ROG STRIX X870-A GAMING WIFI's QVL and installed in the recommended slot.
If needed, we suggest performing a minimal system test by removing the motherboard from the case and only installing the CPU, CPU cooler, a single RAM module in the DIMM_A2 slot, and the PSU. After clearing CMOS, please check whether the system can boot into the BIOS.
Thank you.
