CR2032 Lithium 3V Coin Cell
An orange DRAM light often occurs when BIOS/UEFI memory timings (XMP) become unstable. Replacing the CMOS battery and performing a hard reset clears the volatile memory of the BIOS chip, forcing the motherboard to re-train the RAM at safe default JEDEC frequencies.

850W 80+ Gold Power Supply Unit
The RTX 3080 is known for significant power excursions (transient spikes). If the current PSU is aging or under-specced, it may fail to provide stable voltage to the motherboard's DDR rails during the boot sequence, causing the POST process to hang and trigger the DRAM error light.
