LED in DRAM module activated on your motherboard
I’ve been operating my PC for roughly two years now. Recently, I made a few minor adjustments—organizing cables, swapping the exhaust to intake fans, and other small tweaks—and when I powered it up afterward everything worked fine. After turning it off, doing some other tasks, and coming back, it wouldn’t boot properly and the DRAM light stayed on. The RGB remains active and the RAM modules are receiving power, though they’re not starting. I haven’t handled the RAM at all. I removed every component except one, changed that single part, but it still didn’t work. I double-checked the MMO manual for installation steps and even inspected the CPU, confident no pins were damaged. Any suggestions?
Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, MSI MPG x570 gaming plus Sapphire RX 580, Corsair 32GB 3200MHz CL16 (4x8), Hynix P31 600W PSU
Sorry, I meant I took out all of them except one, and then turned it on with only one stick (I’ve tried reseating all of them aswell)
Hey there! It looks like you might have made some adjustments near the RAM slots on the motherboard. If you take out the RAM, don’t forget to reset the CMOS—this helps the system reset its memory settings.
The 3700X works with DDR4-3200. Make sure your RAM stays within that speed limit; there appears to be some trouble linking Corsair RAM with Ryzen. Check the main site for "Ryzen Corsair RAM crash" and note the results. Suggested options include Crucial Ballisitx or Samsung B-die. Updated June 29, 2022 by An0maly_76
It possibly worked after the updates (I applied them last night and it started working then), and I encountered an issue this morning.
I've used this computer for two years and everything has worked well. Does this mean it's a rare issue or something that can't be resolved? Also, I'm not using XMP or any kind of overclocking.
They're not always providing the same information about crashes. It's likely the work on the case affected the RAM, as others mentioned. I personally experienced it—my system crashed hard while gaming after swapping cables, and it took some time to diagnose. There seems to be a recurring problem with Corsair RAM and Ryzen recently. Also, the motherboard or RAM stick might be faulty. Updated June 29, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details
