Hey! I just upgraded my gaming setup with a new ROG Strix 3070 ti, Corsair H150i Capellix AIO, fresh power supply, and a new case. It felt like opening a toy box and getting it all set up. But when I tried to boot up, the solid orange DRAM light appeared. All the lights came on—RGB, fans, AIO, GPU—but nothing happened. I’ve checked everything: reseated RAM, adjusted the cooling block, swapped fans, re-plugged everything, and reset CMOS. Still nothing. Could you help me out?

Attempt to start with a single RAM stick. I encountered this problem while setting up my system—only having one RAM unit let me install Windows, update the BIOS, and then successfully add both sticks afterward.

No response. Tested both RAM sticks in every slot but kept seeing the orange indicator.

You might need to refresh the BIOS on the motherboard for the CPU. It may seem odd that the DRAM indicator is on, but I've noticed this before and can help identify if it's related to the CPU. If the message appears on the packaging, look at the BIOS version near the S/N code that describes the board.

I had completed that task before a year ago. I also attempted to update the BIOS to check, but it didn’t work.

I haven't found any solution yet. You're facing the same problems, which is frustrating.
