Restart issue with lights remains unresolved.
Restart issue with lights remains unresolved.
Sometimes after a restart, the RAM and CPU indicators stay lit while the screen goes black. I have a 4080 Super with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, a Seasonic 1000 W power supply, 32 GB DDR5 RAM from G Skill Neo RGB, a Lian Li 280 liquid cooler, and an ASRock B650E PCIe graphics card. The system works normally otherwise. It seems the issue only appears during restarts. I’m unsure if it’s related to memory training or something else. Someone suggested disabling memory context restore, but that’s already active and still causing the problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Have you recently changed the BIOS settings? Does the computer finally power up with the DRAM indicator or remains unresponsive? If it eventually starts, it suggests RAM training; if it keeps rebooting, it indicates a problem with the RAM rather than just longer boot times.
I encountered problems when attempting an upgrade to a 5700x3d with 32GB RAM. The board would display CPU or RAM debug LEDs and refuse to start. At first, the BIOS wasn’t compatible, so I updated it—but it still wouldn’t boot. Removing one RAM stick resolved the issue, then I reset everything in BIOS. After rebooting, enabling the memory profile brought me back to the same problem. I considered replacing the old hardware, but the update left lasting effects. I returned the device to Amazon. The only solution that worked with my older 3700x and 16GB RAM was using the "Memory Try It!" feature, which mimicked the profile timing and slightly increased voltage. You might want to set it up manually or look for a similar option on your board.
Occasionally it happens because if the system has been slightly misconfigured, it behaves unpredictably. It won’t freeze during a cold start, but it can stumble during a restart or reboot. Usually this is caused by RAM settings being disabled just enough to trigger the issue. I’d first check your RAM configuration and see if adjusting it helps. Problems might stem from timing settings being too short or RAM speeds being set too high for stability. When the system restarts, pay attention to the default values in the BIOS and use those as a starting point.
I’m not sure what to start with since I don’t usually make changes. Just turned on expo and that’s all.
