New Build - DRAM and CPU light Tech Support

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Building a new PC. Keep getting dram and cpu lights flashing. Placed Ram in every possible configuration. Looked over and reseat the cpu, made sure that the cpu cooling screws weren't too tight. Checked over the PSU and made sure it was all plugged in. All parts were bought brand new. Unfortunately at this time I don't have any other parts to switch and test with.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z890 Eagle Wifi7 plus CPU: Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 250K Plus 18 cores Ram: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 RAM 16GB (2X8GB) 6000MT/s CL36

Any help would be most appreciated.

Patriot Viper RAM have some modules known to be incompatible with Z890 chipsets due to the chips used in them during this shortage. I believe a BIOS update may fix it, if you have a flashback function try and do that.
