Ram (maybe) died after installing WSL

Sorry, my English is not my primary language. I did a summary and I can provide more context if needed.
Can someone help?

⚠️ System shutting down after Windows boot – ROG Strix X470-F DRAM LED blinking
Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming (latest BIOS)
Symptoms:
PC boots fine, runs BIOS indefinitely with no issues.
Once Windows loads, after ~40–60 seconds the monitor goes black, fans keep spinning.
DRAM Q-LED starts blinking yellow.
No full shutdown or reboot – just black screen and frozen state.
Temperatures normal (CPU/GPU fine).
What happened before the issue:
Installed WSL, Docker, Ubuntu, and Kali Linux.
Enabled SVM Mode (virtualization) in BIOS → Advanced > CPU Configuration.
After that, Windows started crashing.
Disabled SVM and stopped all WSL instances, but issue persisted.
Troubleshooting done so far:
Disabled SVM Mode and IOMMU in BIOS.
Verified temps, PSU, GPU – all normal.
BIOS stable for hours.
Windows still crashes after boot with blinking DRAM LED.
Task Manager still shows “Virtualization: On” even with SVM disabled.
Suspected cause:
Windows still running Hyper-V / WSL virtualization layer even though BIOS virtualization is off → causes memory mapping conflict that triggers DRAM LED / system freeze.
Fix steps (so far):
Disable all Hyper-V/WSL features in Windows Features:
Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Containers.
Run this in admin CMD:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Optional cleanup:
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All /NoRestart
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:VirtualMachinePlatform /NoRestart
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:HypervisorPlatform /NoRestart
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /NoRestart
Disable services:
sc config vmms start= disabled
sc config vmcompute start= disabled
sc config LxssManager start= disabled
Reboot → verify in Task Manager → Virtualization: Disabled.
Reference (manual link):
ROG Strix X470-F Gaming User Manual – Q-LEDs
Q-LED meanings:
DRAM (yellow) – memory detection error / instability
CPU (red) – CPU not detected / power issue
VGA (white) – GPU not detected
BOOT (green) – boot device not found
Goal:
Confirm whether virtualization layers in Windows can trigger DRAM LED blinking / black screen on the X470-F, and whether anyone else has seen similar behavior after enabling WSL or Hyper-V.
