New upgrades, new problems

[Lucidmoogle]

Hello all, first time poster, fairly new to the LTT community!

 

So recently I did an upgrade, practically everything got swapped out except Hdd’s, case, and power supply. My main issue as of right now, for some reason when I boot up I get a solid orange light from mobo and then it quickly restarts and boots up no problem. I also can’t restart from windows, when I try it just gives me a solid orange light but it doesn’t restart, just a solid orange light. Here’s my specs:

 

ryzen 5 3600*

asus b450-f strix mobo*

corsair vengeance lpx 3200mhz ddr4*

Asus strix oc gtx 1080ti*

 Thermaltake smart 750w psu 
500gb ssd (OS)

500gb nvme m.2 (games)

3tb 7200rpm hdd (storage)

 

Everything with a “*” next to it, is a piece of what I just upgraded. I have the xmp enabled. I also have the cpu oc’d to 4.2ghz at 1.35v. I don’t know if I should use the ai tweaker in the bios, or the option under advanced called “amd overclock”
 

I have tried a lot of different possible solutions, with no avail. Some side notes, for whatever reason I cannot overclock the ram by no means. I’ve used dram calc and anything I throw at this ram it just doesn’t want to take. Not even tighter timings at 3200mhz. Which I could previously do with my old set of Corsair ram. As far as performance when it does boot, there is a micro stutter that seems to happen randomly in games. It’ll only happen once or twice per gaming session, it’s not a huge detriment. But it didn’t happen before with old hardware so I was curious. I updated the bios immediately when I got the mobo, even though it was ready for the 3rd gen, and then I reverted back to default bios in hopes that might fix the issue. I appreciate any and all help, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have

If I remember correctly, ASUS do use orange for RAM debug light. So it is possible it's a RAM problem. Try raise your SoC voltage to 1.125V to see if that helps. Also ASUS BIOS is really weird, ideally you want to set your intended value in both AMD overclocking menu and main OC tweaker menu.

Thanks I appreciate it! I’ll deff be doing this once I get back to my pc

No luck sadly. I might end up taking it apart some and reseating my ram

Update: fixed the issue! I guess I just had a bad bios install, installed the newest one and I can finally reboot no problem. Now to see if I can overclock this ram lol
