Light up in memory diagnostics during startup
Light up in memory diagnostics during startup
Hello, I've powered on my PC and noticed the DRAM light appears during startup. I've already done several troubleshooting steps—re-seating RAM, checking each memory stick, resetting CMOS, updating BIOS, and re-seating the CPU—but I still don't know what's causing the problem. I ordered a motherboard speaker that should arrive tomorrow, which might help diagnose the issue. In the meantime, do you have any other ideas or fixes I could try? Thanks!
Sadly no igpu but I could boot without the GPU and see if the light stays on or not. The ram sticks are brand new though so I would think it to be unlikely that both would be dead on arrival. I'll try booting without the GPU and reseating the power pins and get back to you. P.s thanks for your fast response.
It seems you're facing some issues with your RAM sticks and motherboard. Maybe they're not compatible because of the new DDR5 standards or because the BIOS doesn't recognize them. You could check the stick specifications and your motherboard's support list, and consider updating the BIOS if it offers a flash USB option.
Thank you for your patience. I'm reaching out to the manufacturer and I hope they reply tomorrow. My setup includes an Asus TUF B650 Plus and a Ryzen 7 7700 processor. I've attempted using the latest BIOS flash utility with both the newest and previous versions, but it didn't work. The Lexar drives listed on Asus' site appear to be compatible as well.
Hey there, if it's a budget pair of sticks, it might be recycled or older, which could mean you're in luck—or not. If you're having trouble getting a reply from Lexar, checking Amazon or where you placed the order might help speed things up.
The chances are low, but not zero. The 32GB 6400mhz sticks are priced around £100, which fits your budget. Since you contacted AWD and are considering a replacement, it’s worth checking if the CPU memory controller could be the cause.
I noticed it before too. Does that mean you should get some 5200mhz RAM? I saw Amd recommend using a setup at 6000mhz, and the Lexar kit seems to have a limit around 5200mhz. Could you overclock to 6000 or 6400 with Evo? In short, what should I do next? Your effort to look into this really helps—thank you!
