RAM only detected on first run & machine unable to restart.

Description of Bug

The first time I run OpenRGB after a cold boot it successfully detects and both RAM sticks, and I am able to control the RGB on both sticks.

However, if I try to run OpenRGB a second time, neither RAM stick is detected.

In addition to this, if I restart Windows, the machine fails to restart - it just hangs with a black screen and the POST LEDs on the motherboard indicate there is a problem with the DRAM. However, if (after a cold boot) I do not run OpenRGB, then the machine is able to restart just fine.

So it looks to me like the act of running OpenRGB has somehow put the system in a bad state where the RAM can no longer be detected, and the machine is no longer able to perform a warm Reboot.

Attached Log

I've attached two log files - the first "detected.log" is when the RAM is properly detected on a first run of OpenRGB. The second "notdetected.log" shows the detection failing on a subsequent run.

Operating System

Windows 11

Hardware Configuration

I'm running:

  • AsRock Z790 Pro RS (BIOS 9.08)
  • TeamForce Delta DDR5 2x16GB/6000MHz
