Hey there, I see you're dealing with some tricky issues here. Let's go through what might be going on. First, the fact that your RAM works fine in another system suggests the problem isn't with the RAM itself. The motherboard replacement helped temporarily, but now it's stuck with only one slot and no boot. That could point to a faulty motherboard component or a loose connection.
The DRAM LED staying on and the EZ Flash LED blinking might indicate a power or communication issue, possibly related to the PSU or RAM controller. Since you're already using a PSU that's rated for 600W but seems insufficient, it could be contributing to instability.
Given your history of trying different CPUs and components, it might be worth checking the motherboard's BIOS settings, ensuring all connections are secure, and verifying that the CPU cooler is properly seated. Also, consider running a more detailed diagnostic on the motherboard—maybe a test for faulty SATA ports or power delivery.
If you're still stuck, reaching out to the manufacturer's support with detailed logs from your system could help pinpoint the exact cause. Let me know what you find next!
The CPU is brand new and I'm not very careful. Both CPUs have straight pins, just like I accidentally tried to loosen screws on the cooler and motherboard without any luck. I'll check what else I might have missed.
I thought the same, though I'm not sure if it's the main reason. I'll try it out later to see if it works. Thanks for your feedback!
The EX-flash button isn't pressed. Only then remains one option: you're unlucky and should return the board for a replacement. Good luck!
I put in a flash drive and it began flashing on its own without any input. It’s been running for about 40 minutes now. The board looks brand new, but the button is actually bent. I don’t think that’s causing the issue before—it probably just happened to happen. Still, after flashing again, the same problem persists. There’s no way I can keep this board in use.
