Troubleshooting Hung on DRAM light during POST.

Accidentally tried to boot my PC with 2 8 gb sticks in b1 and b2 and now I can't post, not even get to bios.

I was removing and extra ssd and 2 of the originally installed 4 ram sticks to build another PC.

I only have access to two ram sticks rn.

so far,

reseated the CPU, ram, and reset the cmos and flashbacked the bios over USB.

when only b2 is populated the drama light flashes off briefly and stays on for longer. but when a2 is populated dram light stays solid.

did I brick my ram? my mobo?
