Issue with Asus ROG Strix b450-i during startup due to DRAM LED malfunction.
I've been looking through various discussions online about the DRAM LED on my motherboard, but I haven't found a solution. My computer shows the DRAM LED lighting up when I power it on, especially with my Asus Rog Strix B450 gaming setup. After unplugging and rebooting, sometimes it works fine and I can access BIOS settings. Then I save and restart, and it boots normally. But when I shut down and power it back up, the LED comes back on again—so I have to reset the BIOS before it loads Windows. Everything else seems normal: CPU and memory are running correctly, cables and connections are fine, and the GPU power is good. I've tried different RAM modules, swapped them, and even used both at once without success. The PSU seems too small for some games, like Destiny 2 with the "broccoli" error, which suggests a graphics card issue. I ordered a replacement PSU tomorrow, hoping it will fix the problem. I'm also checking CPU-Z and GPU-Z screenshots for more details.
I suggest opting for something a bit stronger and better quality, yes? A 550W model would suit your needs perfectly. Take a look at Corsair RMx or TXM if you're looking to save a little. For those wanting to cut costs slightly, Corsair CX or pure power 11 could be good alternatives.
The Stormseeker9 has received the CORSAIR SF Series SF600 80 PLUS Platinum 600 Watt and expects delivery tomorrow. They are also experimenting with a BIOS flash to determine if it improves performance.
