Interesting response. It was tough to figure out since you weren't sure about the CPU setup, which is tricky. Seating memory is another area where even seasoned users can make errors. Options - Avoid asking for help unless you can detail everything you've tried and the steps you took for troubleshooting. I apologize for being honest; the DRAM light suggests something went wrong. Possibilities include incorrect memory installation, a needed BIOS update, a faulty CPU (we've checked that already...), or the board needing warranty service. In any case, I'll refrain from helping if I see you need it again. Good luck!
Well, if my response caught your attention, yours seems quite harsh. Next time you think about belittling someone's intelligence, take a moment to review their replies first. If you'd done that, you'd have noticed I've already adjusted the RAM several times and even experimented with another configuration. Still, no problem. I wasn't here to argue; I came to find out if anyone had any idea how to verify whether my approach was correct or if there might be an issue with the board. If you're not interested in helping, that's okay. The DRAM light signals more than just improper insertion—you probably knew that too.
Only two signs are visible. Check the diagnostic speaker... maybe it will give a response.
The issue was with the CPU. The motherboard thought there was a RAM problem and displayed a blinking Dram light each time you turned it on. I replaced the CPU at the store where I bought it, installed it, and it stopped the flashing light. This should help others facing similar problems.
