troubleshooting B450m pro m2 White ezdebug dram light

[DaftMythoclast]

Context: Built this rig last july and it saw very minimal use. In feb. it was having problems where my browser tabs would crash or the entire machine would crash. I used one of the default memory diagnostic programs that just gives a broad output of 'Hardware problems detected Contact manufacturer.’ So i figured there was something wrong and i sent the ram to corsair using the limited lifetime warrantee and got my replacement. the same thing was happening so i changed the freq to auto which set it at around 2133 instead of the stock 3000 and it was working fine. i played space engineers for an extended time yesterday and now i just get a white dram ezdebug light when i try to power it on. Ive reseated the ram a dozen times and pulled the cmos battery and jumped jbat1 and nothing. I dont have a friend to loan me other modules to try and no more money to buy a new mobo/ram

The cpu is rated for speeds up to 2933mhz actually. Try this frequency. 

To do so:

Set XMP enabled = yes.

be sure memory voltage is 1.350v

Manually set memory target speed to 2933 while XMP is enabled (DOCP if that's the label in bios)

 

Just to be sure, turn the rig off and reset the cmos. Then try the above after you post.

Ohhhh. I read your original post much more carefully. I better understand!

 

Gosh, that could be a cpu issue or motherboard issue. 

 

Does your friend operate the same platform? Can you try your processor in his/her board or perhaps the other way around?

im saying that i dont have a friend to test my ram or loan me some so i dont know what to try and i dont have money to buy more and not be able to get my refund if i do get a new mobo or something.

Is there some sort of beep code or a diagnose code ? On the mobo

The board has a spot for a little speaker on the front panel header. 

The little speaker can be had on ebay for 2 dollars.
