Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with a bunch of issues lately. My system is an I5-10600KF with an MSI GTX 980, ASUS H510-E, two 8GB HyperX 3200 CL16 GPUs, and a 650W power supply. For a few weeks now, I’ve been getting BSOD messages about memory. Even after checking each RAM stick individually, the problem keeps happening. I didn’t think it was two sticks failing at once, so I assumed something with the motherboard. I replaced the board, but it still doesn’t boot properly—it just makes a beep, and the manual says everything’s fine. The screen won’t wake up, and even after a few reboots, nothing appears. I also bought two new RAM modules hoping that would help, but now the PC won’t start at all. The same beep sound comes out, but no display output. Since I don’t have an integrated GPU, I can’t rule it out yet. Any suggestions? I’m not sure if I should keep buying more hardware without knowing what’s really wrong. Thanks for your help!
Look for someone nearby to test the idea. A local expert or friend could help verify things without needing expensive tools. NorthridgeFix might use a multimeter, microscope, and voltage injection if needed, but most people don’t have that setup. It’s a popular repair shop on YouTube.
Before purchasing the new RAM, I reset the CMOS and the computer started up. I plan to attempt it once more with the updated RAM.
Sure, I understand. As an Electrical Engineer, I have good tools, but I might just measure the voltage on the PSU pins and check the current instead. Maybe I’ll ask a friend for help. Thanks!
