Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 not posting (DRAM Light)

surgeapex

RESOLVED: I did not wait long enough while testing memory, turns out one of my sticks was dead

In the process of building a PC with the motherboard mentioned above, and CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700X, RAM: Gskill Flare X5 2x16 at 6000 MT/s. (Can include other parts if relevant).

after everything is connected the system powers on briefly flashing the CPU Diagnostic Light, and than staying solid on DRAM for approximately 2 Minutes and than restarts. With a google search I found someone having a similar issue but their fix did not work for me

Steps I've tried:
Testing Each stick in each slot
Flashing Bios F32e and F31 (most recent and most recent stable bios)
Re seating CPU (no bent pins)
booting without GPU Installed
clearing CMOS

I have posted threads on some other forum's and it's seeming like a dead motherboard

Hello! Glad to hear you were able to locate the issue here :) I see that you purchased the G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000. Have you had the opportunity to complete an exchange in store for this?
