Weird behaviour of motherboard

Specs: Ryzen 9 9950x Radeon Rx 7900xtx 24gb 2 kits of this ram (64Gb in total): DDR5, 16GBx2, PC5-48000 6000MT/s; Viper Venom Performance Memory (PVV532G600C36K) TUF Gaming B650-E wifi motherboard

Power supply: Gigabyte UD1000GM 1000w 80 + Gold modular Operating system: Pop Os (Gnu/Linux) Memtest86+ was run for 12h with 0 errors a month ago. Today I am running memtest again. If needed, I will add in the results of it after completing the 12 hour test run.

ISSUES: When EXPO profile is applied or any changes related to memory are made, system constantly POSTs in safe mode. Today after changing boot order and changing nothing related to memory, bios decided to get stuck with yellow bios light. I have waited for 10 minutes until I forcefully shut it down. After the shut down and booting up again, the system tends to boot correctly, unless any changes related to memory where made. Both EXPO I and EXPO II result in system POST in safe mode. To be clear - system NEVER boots correctly if ANY changes related to ram, dram where made.

A more unusual issue is this: during gameplay of No Man's Sky I would randomly get a yellow bios light. After changing proton config it appeared that random yellow bios lights during gameplay dissapeared and thought that they where fixed, however I was wrong, got one after 5 minutes of gameplay the next day.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT DETAIL: I had similar issues before, however, at that time yellow bios light would happen randomly even if system would be under no load. If yellow bios light would occur, the system would reboot. Motherboard was retured as after testing it was recognised to be faulty and replaced with my current one. This time, yellow bios light during usage appears to happen exclusively during No Man's Sky gameplay. If yellow bios light occurs, the system DOES NOT reboot itself, it remains stuck until I forcefully shut it down and boot it up again. While running native linux games, I didn't notice this issue, including heavily modded ones that consume 12-20gb of ram. I would say that further testing would be needed to see when it happens during system use exactly, however I am more concerned about the main issue - system POST every time there are any changes related to memory.

IF ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS ARE NEEDED, I WILL PROVIDE THEM AND EDIT THIS POST FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THOSE DETAILS

All of my parts, excluding RAM are under warranty and are replacable
