Dram LED active, assistance available.
Dram LED active, assistance available.
I updated my PC by installing two more RAM sticks. After turning it on, everything appears normal. However, the DRAM LED stays illuminated and the board fails to load into BIOS. The display also shows no signal. System details: CPU is a Ryzen 3 2200G, motherboard MSI B450M Gaming Plus, RAM is G.Skill RipjawsV 8GB DDR4-2800MHz (F4-2800C15D-8GVRB). The new sticks match the original ones except for their production month. Check the images for reference: https://pasteboard.co/Jftjrmn.jpg and https://pasteboard.co/JftjDOhy.jpg. Please assist me.
You can use just the two new RAM sticks and everything functions properly. Clearing the CMOS is a separate step—let me know if you need guidance on that.
You mentioned limitations in a 2x4 configuration. As you suggested, try using the new stick separately.
It's two sets of two sticks. Turn off the device and disconnect the power source. Press the power switch multiple times to clear any remaining charge. Locate the small silver-colored motherboard battery and take it out for a few minutes. Put it back in and restore power.
I replaced the CMOS, installed all the RAM modules (both old and new) and the DRAM LED came on again. When I used just the two new RAM sticks it also worked. Doing it with just the two old ones did the trick too. If I connect all four sticks (two 4GB each) the LED lights up. Sorry for the unclear English. @HairlessMonkeyBoy @TofuHaroto
I connected one old and one new, then started it up. @TofuHaroto @HairlessMonkeyBoy
