Q: I’ve built the damn machine and now I can’t get to POST cause a dram light is on. I have tried every option I had with my ram sticks. I’ve plugged them in seperately on every slot and still nothing changed. I updated my BIOS by doing a bios flashback. I tried everything to get it working.

A: Nearly identical issue, Problem Fixed... I would just like to first thank everyone helping in this discussion. I had the same problem same board Asus tuf b650m with the latest bios updated before installation. Ram Kingston Fury 2x8GB 5200. Dram light on with sticks in A2 and B2 wouldn't POST. What did it for me was this: Turn off, unplug, clear CMOS, and put one stick in B2. Post successful. For message "new cpu installed ftpm nv corrupted..." PRESS Y. Turn off pc, unplug, but don't clear CMOS (obviously) just put the other stick in A2 and BINGO!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had the exact same issue and your solution worked perfectly. Clearing CMOS and booting with a single stick in B2 first did the trick. After pressing Y on the fTPM message and adding the second stick in A2, everything posted normally. You saved me a lot of frustration—much appreciated!
