Hi, it sounds like your PC is having some serious issues after being unplugged. The DRAM error and stuck boot suggest a hardware problem that might need replacing the CMOS battery or possibly the memory sticks. Since you've already swapped them once and the error persists, it’s best to check the CMOS battery first—replacing it could resolve the issue. If that doesn’t help, consider testing the RAM or consulting a technician. Let me know what you find!

I mean when I say "swapped memory sticks once," I’m referring to testing each stick individually. Remove all sticks and leave only one connected, then attempt to boot. If it fails, move that stick to a different slot and try again. This helps identify if the problem lies with a specific stick or its position. Another approach is to reset your CMOS by removing the battery for a short time—no need to reconnect afterward. Once the system starts up, reinsert the battery. The CMOS stores BIOS settings; without it, the system resets every power loss event.

The PC was likely in a standby or idle state when you turned it off.

I changed the RAM slots from 1 and 3 to 2 and 4. The system was running Chrome. I plan to use the CMOS reset tool with the header soon.

Header shortened; Q-LED remains active, attempting battery solution.

I delayed the connections for a while and after many flashing indicators my computer started up. Much thanks, I'm really grateful.
