In fact I do not actually love that there seems to be no possible variation of RAM installation that makes the flashing amber light on my Asus X570-Plus motherboard stop flashing with no other obvious way forward other than to bring it to a professional who knows what they're doing to tell me where I fucked up for 300 dollars
The GOOD news is that as far as the computer tech can tell, I didn't fuck up anywhere
The BAD news is that it's likely the motherboard itself that's defective which means I gotta deal with the hassle of shipping it back to NewEgg and waiting on a replacement (while also being out the 100 bucks for the tech's time)
Man I just. Fuckin. Wanted a new computer
