ASUS X870E with dramatic lighting and 00 QLED display.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ASUS ROG X870E-E 64GB (2x32) with Corsair Titanium DDR5 (CMP64GX5M2B6000Z30). Power source is Corsair HX1200i Lian Li O11D Evo RGB. I’m waiting to upgrade to the GTX1080 model (5090). The PC uses Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD with 73.5 CFM airflow. Initially ran well, but struggled to get RAM to hit the advertised speed via EXPO in BIOS, so I downclocked to 5600 MHz.
Previously had 96GB (2x48) Corsair Titanium DDR5 6400 CL32, which only supported XMP mode and not EXPO—so I swapped to the new RAM. The system worked until random freezes occurred, forcing a hard restart. Now it displays QLED 00 code, the orange DRAM indicator is lit, and no POST appears. CPU temperatures stayed below 85°C most of the time, around 30-50°C. I didn’t attempt overclocking; instead, I followed troubleshooting steps: checked cables, re-seated CPU, verified motherboard pins, cleared CMOS, updated BIOS via FLASHBACK, removed non-essential components, replaced DRAM, tried RAM sticks one at a time, ordered a new motherboard, and even swapped the CPU.
Still facing the same issue. My concern is whether it’s the CPU or the power supply that failed. If it’s the CPU, should I risk installing the new one on the original board? Once the replacement arrives, I’ll test it and let you know the outcome.
That’s surprising. The whole situation seems linked to memory problems.
I mean this. The link points to a specific memory model I used, but it wasn't listed in the QVL. I found an ASUS overclocking profile for DRAM at 6400, though I faced stability problems above 5600. Also, some sources suggest capping Ryzen 7 9800X3D at around 6000 for better stability. I recommend switching to the CMP64GX5M2B6000Z30 instead. The one you mentioned earlier isn't the original.
