The new setup isn't starting... could the RAM be the issue?
Hello, I recently assembled my new PC and it isn’t booting correctly. It keeps getting stuck in BIOS even after the update. Sometimes it powers on occasionally, which seems like I resolved the issue, but I’m still unsure. I suspect the RAM might be the cause.
Hello, thank you for your message. It appears that using DOC mode for RAM causes issues, preventing the system from booting properly. The LED mainly lights up orange, and sometimes it turns red for the CPU, followed by VGA and the white boot light. The four connectors don’t seem to help either. You mentioned updating the BIOS without any changes—any suggestions?
all the tests passed, I had two sticks that functioned well as long as I kept the RAM under 4800MHz and the CPU stayed stable. Once I switched to Ryzen Master or played DOC, I needed to reset the BIOS to get a proper boot.
Processors vary widely; hitting 5,200 Mhz is normal for the 7800X3D as advertised. The CPU might be stock or overclocked—check the BIOS settings too, even if it was a fresh build. The power supply is usually reliable now, though instability can still occur occasionally.
