Initial setup - DRAM problems diagnosis
Initial setup - DRAM problems diagnosis
Hi, I'm a newbie PC builder. I'm currently building a machine with the following components (so far): MB: X670E AORUS PRO X rev 1 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X67...S-PRO-X#kf CPU: AMD 9950x (integrated radeon graphics) RAM: XPG Lancer blade DDR5, AX5U6000C3032G-DTLABBK G SKILL Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J3040G32GX2-RS5K (bought new RAM sticks that are listed as compatible with motherboard and CPU) SSD: Crucial T705 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD My system won't post AND I see a red light for DRAM. I don't see anything on my display (connected to motherboard HDMI). The system is getting power. The CPU fan is spinning. My keyboard light is working when connected. When booting, there's a red flash on the CPU for like less than a fraction of a second, and then the DRAM light turns red and stays red (CPU light off). From the motherboard manual: What I have tried to get everything working - Q-Flash the BIOS to the newest version (F32b) - Reset CMOS - Use only one RAM stick in all RAM slots, with both RAM sticks - Reseat the SSD Is there anything else I can try to debug the issue? Perhaps the RAM is not compatible with 9950x? When I look up the compatibility chart from the motherboard - it says that my RAM Is compatible with Ryzen 7000-series CPU. They don't have an option to select 9000 series (probably since it's so new). I assumed since it's also AM5, it would also work with the 9950x. Saw this post after posting this question (crossed out is not applicable or completed): Edited October 11, 2024 by bassdewd Bought new RAM sticks which are compatible
No problem, just to confirm—are you using an integrated GPU (iGPU) and also checking for a dedicated GPU (dGPU)?
Currently, I'm attempting to start up solely with the integrated GPU. Plans are to purchase a separate dedicated GPU in the future.
