I assembled my PC in early 2023 (around February) and recently encountered a problem where clicking the power button causes the system to boot but no screen appears, while an orange DRAM LED stays illuminated on the motherboard. This issue has persisted for about three to four weeks, or possibly longer. Before diving into fixes, I managed to get it running by repeatedly turning it on and off, though internet connectivity in my room remains unaffected. My own observations suggest moving the RAM modules around to various slots didn’t help, which led me to suspect a motherboard fault—my friend mentioned this is similar. I tried re-seating the CPU, but it only made the fans spin faster before the LED stayed on. I attempted a BIOS update, but either I didn’t complete it properly or it failed. The GPU also didn’t respond to re-seating. My system specs are listed as Torrent Compact case, ASUS Tuff Gaming B650, Ryzan 9 7000 series, Black, MSI Nivida 3060 12G, and GSKILL DDR5 Trident Z5 RGB 2x16G. I’m using a Seasonic power supply, around 700W, though I’m not overly concerned about it. A photo was taken when I shut down the PC before troubleshooting. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Should I consider returning the product or replacing parts? I’m unsure.
