PC fails to POST after windows update. (Blinking DRAM)

Symptoms: Was perfectly fine prior to windows update and shut down. Later that night, I come back and on powering on, yellow DRAM light falshes and fans spin, but pc fails to POST.

Things tried:

Full power off and power drain

Swapping ram sticks

Having just 1 ram stick in a2

Clearing CMOS with battery removal, with CLRT shorting

Resetting BIOS using usb with bios downloaded onto it

Trying all the above with/without SSD and all USB ports plugged in.

Been verrryyyy excessive in patience in all things to allow time for clearing / resetting.

Specs

Ram: ddr4 3600

Mb: TUF GAMING B550 - PLUS WIFI 2

CPU: RYZEN 7 5800x

GPU: 3060ti

Been scratching my head real hard on this one.. not sure what to do. Please help if you have ideas.
