PC fails to respond and the DRAM indicator stays on.
I was in BM:Wukong, and once I left the boss arena the Monitor showed no signal. I powered off the PC, restarted it, but got a CPU error on MOBO and a DRAM error after reseating RAM. I also tried reseating the CPU, but the issue persisted. I followed troubleshooting steps: cleared CMOS via CLRTC pins and removed the battery, then reinserted RAM and CPU. I tested with a single stick of RAM. System details: Ryzen 3600 RTX 2080 TUF X570, Gskill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz, 700W power supply.
Based on past observations, a DRAM issue could affect RAM, memory cards, the CPU, or the motherboard. From what you explained, it seems the CPU might be faulty. You should verify this by testing each component individually in a different machine (one at a time). If everything checks out, remember to inspect the power supply unit as well. Let me know if this clarifies things.
Fortunately, the CPU isn't completely failed. One stick of RAM is malfunctioning. The cool thing is I can start up with the tower lying flat on the floor, but not upright.
