DRAM LIGHT ILLUMINATED

[theqtguy]

I got my new Aorus B550 Pro AC rev. 1.0 just today and when installing the cpu and ram. It doesn't boot up. DRAM light is on.

 

CPU: R7 3700X

Ram: Corsair LPX Vengeance CMK16GX4M2B3200C16

I have already reseated the ram. Trying single channel and dual channel. No boot still. Need help. I also had a previous post about this on another motherboard the ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero. 

 

Could it be a CPU problem or still a ram problem?

Could potentially be a problem with the CPU's memory controller.

 

Do you have other ram to test with, maybe a spot check from a friend's PC?

I did try out some some other ram.

One is the lpx 8x2 3200 and other one is the corsair rgb 16x2 3600.

 

I have also tried the cpu in another motherboard. Crosshair 7 hero, asus tuf b450 and then this one aorus b550. 

 

On the crosshair 7, I get a 7A error and after awhile, I get an error 55. On the ASUS TUF, I get no post or error or anything, just doesn't boot up...

Well, if the CPU in either board is not working with either memory, you may be the unfortunate owner of a defective CPU.

Welp that's sad news :// btw, any PSU recommendations for 3900x + gigabyte windforce 2070s? And what would you do if you have a defective CPU?

If you aren't within the return window for the retailer you bought it from, contact AMD with the serial number in hand.
