Question DRAM and CPU turned on abruptly
Question DRAM and CPU turned on abruptly
I finished my first build about a week ago and everything worked perfectly. I used it yesterday morning before turning it off to go to work, but when I came home and turned it back on, the DRAM and CPU lights stayed solid red and it won’t boot anymore. I also had a mobile speaker connected and didn’t hear any beeps.
What I tried:
- Reseating CPU, SSD, and both RAM sticks
- Removing the CMOS battery
- Taking out the GPU and leaving one stick in
- Using one stick in slots 2 and 4
- Using both sticks in slots 1 and 3
- Posting with no sticks
Each attempt kept the lights on continuously without any flashing.
Here’s the part list because I’m not sure of my specs, as someone built it for me:

I don’t know what it could be yet since it’s only been a week and there’s no obvious issue.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Your board features a BIOS FlashBack button located at the rear of the motherboard;

Refer to page 51 and proceed with the provided steps. Refresh the BIOS using the latest version.
After clearing the CMOS, ensure you disconnect from the power source and display, remove the battery from the board, then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, and replace it after 30 minutes.
