No display visible, yet fans are running and the motherboard indicator displays DRAM light?
No display visible, yet fans are running and the motherboard indicator displays DRAM light?
My issues with the computer began roughly two months ago during some cable organization tasks. I removed the PSU cable, motherboard 16pin and 8pin cables, and the GPU cable. After reconnecting everything, the machine started having startup problems. It required me to open and close it without a display, and only then would it show images occasionally. Recently, after moving my desk, I shut it down because of a new desk setup, but didn’t remove any connections. When I tried opening it again, no display appeared and the motherboard displayed a boot light. I attempted to start it without the GPU connected, which now shows a DRAM error light. I also tried inserting one or two RAM sticks, but it didn’t help. If I try to boot it normally, the fans activate and the keyboard lights up after about 20 seconds, yet there’s still no display, and the monitor remains unplugged. I’m really stuck and would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Could you tell us how old your PSU is? For your system, if you manage to make it start after reseating the RAM, the problem might lie with your motherboard or the integrated memory controller on the processor, which would suggest the CPU could be the cause. If you can get POST, verify the BIOS version on your motherboard at this time.
