B450 DRAM LED

[sunnyboai]

Hi everyone, 

I just build myself a new gaming rig like 2 months ago. Now everything has been working just fine until a couple of hours ago, when my PC just blackscreened and won’t turn on anymore. I have already checked the internet for help but cant seem to find anything really (but maybe I just dont know what to look for since i dont know all that much about PC‘s).

All the fans including GPU and CPU fans are spinning and RGB on the GPU also works, but my motherboard just has the DRAM LED at the lower right of the board lit. 

List of components:

- Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro 

- Ryzen 5 5600X

- Gigabyte RTX 3060Ti

- 32Gigs Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200

- bequiet! DarkRock 4 Tower cooler

- 650 Watt bequiet! Pure Power 11 80+ Gold

 

Now I was dumb enough to not notice that my Motherboard and CPU are not factory compatible due to an outdated BIOS, but I fixed that by borrowing a older ryzen CPU and upgrading my BIOS to the latest version. 
 

EDIT: Could it be possible that my BIOS reset itself to the old, incompatible version? Because what I described above is exactly the same issue I had, when I first build my computer. 

I would really appreciate any ideas on what might be the Problem because i already spent close to 1700€ on the parts and cant really afford to have a PC shop fix it for me. 

 

Thanx in advance!!

Let me get this straight, you have a DRAM (memory problem), but you are able to make it into the BIOS?

Usually if it fails to POST (e.g any of the CPU - DRAM - VGA - BOOT) you won't be able to get into the BIOS.

 

Power down your system, take your memory sticks all out, and just re-seat them.

Make sure they are installed into the slots properly (i.e. clicked and locked into the memory slots).

If that does not work, then you will need to start testing each memory stick, one at a time.

Hi,

thank you for answering. 
I can’t even geht into the BIOS. 
The PC doesnt even give a signal to my monitor. All I have is spinning fans and the DRAM debug LED on the motherboard lit. 
I just tried swapping memory sticks around in all 4 slots and also tested both sticks individually in different slots. 
Issue still persists.

Problem solved! 
 

My BIOS got corrupted or something and jumped to the backup, which i hadn‘t updatet yet and was not compatible with my CPU.

I say try a new cmos battery.  My problem was the CMOS battery and over a year none of these people told me about it.  People arrpund me told me and I kep thinking "they think it's a laptop".  I mean the desktop cmos battery.
