RAM or Board Issue?

[CranberryPie]

Hi,

 

So, after recently building my Ryzen PC and booting up, I had an issue with my RAM it seems. Although, I am unsure if it's the board or one of the RAM sticks, for example, in the board manual page (posted below) it mentions for a single module, connect it in DIMM A2 and for 2 sticks, DIMM B2 and DIMM A2.

 

Breakdown

 

1x 8GB RAM stick in DIMM A2, booting up, LED indicator blinks orange (for RAM) then red (for CPU) and then white (for VGA)

Stick both 8GB RAM modules in DIMM B2 and A2, LED indicator is orange and PC won't boot.

Specs

 

RAM used: 2x 8GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200 Mhz (F43200 C16D-16GTZR) 2018 Aug

- I looked on the motherboard supported RAM list and my RAM is on there.

Board: Asus TUF Gaming x570 Plus

CPU Ryzen 3900X

 

Does anyone have an idea? I think its one of the memory modules?

Have you tried booting with each individual RAM stick in single channel to make sure that one of them isn't dead? That seems like it would be the most likely cause.

I have tried. Is there a preference on the slot orientation by chance? Maybe causing issues?

 

I just don't understand how a stick can just die, it was literally working a couple of months ago??
