DRAM problems aren't preventing startup.
DRAM problems aren't preventing startup.
Hello, I’m facing problems getting my PC to boot. It doesn’t even reach the BIOS. On my motherboard, the DRAM light is lit. I’ve tested various boards, CPUs, and RAM kits (both DDR4 and DDR5), but nothing works. Another machine has a similar issue, but it functions only when using one RAM stick. It doesn’t matter if it’s 8GB or 16GB; it requires a single stick. I tried installing a single stick in each slot and it worked. However, adding more sticks breaks the functionality, with the DRAM light turning on. I’ve swapped motherboards, RAM, CPUs, and power supplies before.
