Changes in GPU and RAM RGB to red pulses occur once Windows 11 is fully loaded.
Changes in GPU and RAM RGB to red pulses occur once Windows 11 is fully loaded.
Hello, I'm checking if anyone else has encountered this or knows the right way to ask. RGB was originally a rainbow effect, replaced the RAM, and now it flashes red after loading Windows 11. My latest build had crashes, so I ran memtest86 and discovered errors on one of the four GSKILL DDR5 modules. After an RMA, the replacements worked out. I tested each module separately and together—they all passed. Now a red pulse appears synchronized with my GPU, which makes me suspect it's a warning signal, but I don't know where to find details. I can't enable XMP settings and it won't boot properly. I've been using the BIOS at default settings (no overclocking except the GPU, which came out of the box). The crashes happen when all four sticks are used, not just two. I suspect a power issue, but when I used PC Builder with these parts, it said a minimum of 750W was needed, so my 1000W PSU should handle it.
Hardware:
ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming
Intel Core i9-13900K
ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC
SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2 2280 2TB
Coolers:
x2 G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB
x2 CORSAIR RMx Shift Series RM1000x Shift
CORSAIR iCUE H170i ELITE LCD XT Liquid CPU Cooler
Thanks after reading this I see you're correct. I wasn't running xmp when I was waiting for the RMA on two of the 4 sticks.
I have since given up trying to run 4 sticks, too many crashes even with default settings. No issues at all with 2 sticks.
Might re visit if they update my bios, or windows 11 can sort out the conflicts.
