I built this setup recently and it hasn’t been used much. In February there were issues where my browser tabs would crash or the whole system would fail. I ran a basic memory check that reported broad hardware problems, so I contacted Corsair with the limited warranty and received a replacement. The same happened again, so I switched the frequency to auto, which set it to about 2133 MHz and it worked properly. Yesterday I played Space Engineers for a long time and now I only see a white DRAM error light when trying to power it on. No reseating helped, and I even tried jumping the JBT1 to reset the CMOS but it didn’t work. I’m confused about why it suddenly stops functioning overnight.

Reset the BIOS to its original settings and verify if an upgraded version is available. After updating, perform a memory test to ensure your CPU and RAM are functioning correctly.

Removed the CMOS battery, let it sit. Rechecked and still no results. Can't access BIOS without a working RAM module, and I don’t have any backups either—everything is brand new.

I didn't buy it online or at a retailer.

Review the motherboard's chipset compatibility, then verify it matches your CPU's chipset. Watch the tutorial closely.
