Issue with B450F RAM, assistance required
Here’s a clearer summary of the key points:
The motherboard is an Asus Strix B450F with a RAM setup of Patriot Viper 2x8 DDR4 at 3000 MHz and a Ryzen 5 2600X processor. The user shared his experience, noting he moved the RAM from slots 1 and 2 to 2 and 4, observed a bright orange light on the motherboard, but no display output. He’s tried various configurations and even used just one stick.
The situation escalated when he learned from a friend that his RAM was installed in slots 1 and 2, which caused issues. Despite trying different setups, a persistent orange light appeared, indicating a RAM error. The monitor isn’t showing anything, and the GPU fans aren’t running. He’s facing a frustrating situation with no progress and is awaiting updates soon.
Additional context: Several users reported similar problems around 2018, suggesting possible faulty motherboards from that era. He bought the motherboard from Newegg around 2018/19, but the DIMM slots are now non-functional. He hasn’t updated his drivers, and the BIOS version is outdated.
