HEY GUYS OF THE LTT FORUM:

 

DREADED DRAM BOOT ISSUES:

 

PC SPEC:

 

RYZEN 2500X 3.3MHZ 

AUROUS B450M, F41 BIOS NOT QUIET LATEST VERSION

250GB SABERANT M.2 

PIONEER 1TB SSD

EVGA SFX SUPERNOVA PSU 650W

NO OVER CLOCKS ALL STOCK SETTINGS 

 

SO PC WONT BOOT DRAM LED SHOW UP ON BOOT, NO VIDEO, TRIED RE-SEATING GPU, CPU, RAM IN A1, A2 AND B1, B2 RAM SLOTS, TRIED 2 RAM KITS BOTH COMPATIBLE, CMOS RESET NO JOY, HAD 3 AUROUS B450M  FAIL THE SAME WAY ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!!! x(

How long is the longest you've let them sit with the DRAM light on? Particularly with 1st gen Ryzen, I know the first boot could take nearly 5 minutes to post. Felt like forever, all things considered. Not sure if this is something that's been improved with Zen+/400 series.

max 30 mins...

I’ve heard Corsair ram isn’t the most reliable these days.. I myself have just gotten memory errors and now I’ve got the same symptoms as you

[Brok3nBob]

its just odd, bought as a bundle the corsair ram is on compatible list but had some 8gb adata ram set that came with the bundle and that wont work either both 2400mhz

Try a different processor with a single stick of memory in slot A1. Clear cmos before posting. 

 

Why a different cpu? Because the memory controller is Integrated on it. 

 

Good Luck

Have you had the CPU running in a different board? It's possible that the CPU itself is dead. I have high doubts on 3 motherboards in a row being dead (though this isn't impossible, just very very unlikely.)

if you got a spare psu id double check with a swap on that too just to rule out all options

if you mean make of board no, but cpu has worked for a time before the problem arises and if the cpu was dead it wouldn't work in any board let alone 3 of the same type...

Electronics. Sometimes a diagnosis can be a pain in the butt with strange symptoms.

Since I see a pile of boards, Id like to think the issue is elsewhere. 

 

[Brok3nBob]

so say if it is the cpu after a bit more of a deep dive, what model of CPU should i test my 450 boards with?
