Problem with yellow DRAM indicator...
It depends on the device; some models can start up normally, while others may require additional settings like EXPO or XMP to function properly.
Test each stick individually, switching them in turns. If your machine runs fine with another set, it might be a faulty kit. Providing a detailed spec sheet for your current system—including model numbers—would be useful, along with the specifications for the new RAM module.
The previous setup also failed. That’s why I upgraded to new RAM. I assumed my current model wasn’t compatible with the motherboard.
If the previous setup failed too, it might mean the board itself is faulty. Usually just reprogramming the CMOS will fix things. If you haven’t tried this yet, give it a go, but if neither of the two boards works and one had succeeded before, the issue is likely with the hardware.
