Dram LED activated, computer restarts whenever I relocate it.
Dram LED activated, computer restarts whenever I relocate it.
I just began assembling a PC yesterday and encountered a few problems:
My DRAM Q-LED is lit up – I’ve confirmed the slots are correct, tested with one RAM stick and new RAM, but nothing changed. I’ve removed the CPU and tried to destroy it, checking the pins and thermal paste all seem fine.
PC reboots when I shift it slightly in certain directions, and it boots everything back up except the graphics card. At least the RGB lights and fan in the graphics card are working, but there’s a small LED next to the PCI slot that stays on, indicating it’s receiving power.
Could be a short to the case. If the case has conductive material, I would do a build without the case on a non-conductive material (like cardboard) on your desk. It also makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot.
As far as the memory, I would double check the motherboard QVL for the compatibility of the memory that you have. Also test with just a single stick and clear your CMOS.
