No power, processor flashing red. No creative solutions.
No power, processor flashing red. No creative solutions.
My setup includes a Ryzen 7 7700x processor, a 1200W power supply, an MSI wc 4090, an Asrock B650 steel legend SSD, p5 2T boot drive, p3 1T RAM with Corsair Vengance 32GB (2x16), DDR5 5600. After a year without problems, my PC shuts down unexpectedly—fans and lights activate but it doesn’t boot. The CPU shows an error light, and the DRAM flashes yellow. I’ve changed the CPU, reseated RAM, swapped PSUs, updated BIOS, tried different RAM sticks, and even replaced the whole motherboard. Still no success. It seems like either the SSD or the RAM is faulty now. Since I don’t have spare parts, I’ll need to purchase new components if that’s all that remains. What could be causing this?
Have you experimented with a simple setup using just the CPU, one stick of RAM, and an external PSU? Did you reset the CMOS? Also, after adjusting the memory settings on the AM5 board, do you need to wait a few minutes before it stabilizes because memory training can be slow?
Thank you for the feedback. I've reviewed the suggestions again, but no adjustments were made.
Consider checking for compatible RAM you already own and see if it fits, otherwise look for alternatives.
