Asus P8Z77 DRAM Blinks and won't load bios

Daed99

PC Specs:

Mobo - Asus P8Z77-V LE Plus

CPU - Intel i5-3570k with Corsair H100 cooler

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB DDR3 

GPU - Asus GTX 660

PSU - Coolmax 750w

Boot Drive - OCZ Agility4 64GB SSD running Windows 7

Storage - 2x WD 1TB HHD

 

I built this system quite a few years ago and it's been running great since day one until I decided to turn it into a media PC. I swapped everything into a Coolermaster Masterbox 500Q. After the case switch everything seemed to be fine for a few days hooked up to my tv. I brought out my monitor since my tv doesn't show anything before the Windows logo and I wanted to go into the bios and then the problem started. The DRAM light (pic1) turns on once quickly then stays off and the Asus screen (pic2) comes up and stays on even when pressing the delete key. All fans are running and no strange noises.

 

Things I've tried so far - Every RAM combination I can think of. I tried without the video card and wifi card. Re-seated all power and data connectors. Pressed MemOk Button a couple times, and took out the little battery while unplugged

 

I don't know what to do next. Thank you for any help

I've looked through the manual a bunch of time and they don't mention what a light blink means other then that there is something going on

Can you try a different video card possibly ?

Try removing and replacing the RAM in a different order. If the board is flashing a RAM error, even only briefly, removing and replacing it may solve the problem. Make sure all your modules are fully seated.
