Issue with PC after it fell over.

Last night my dogs pulled my Ethernet cord and pulled my PC over and it fell a decent distance onto the hard floor on the backside panel.

 

After that it would no longer boot everything was still receiving power but just wouldn't display anything my motherboard was receiving a solid yellow light .

 

I then tried removing GPU ram and switching slots and then discovered it also wouldn't boot if I had a one of my ssds sata cables plugged in so I swapped It for a new one, think that helped because it booted and I got display.

 

But now everytime I turn it on it hangs out the yellow dram light and flashes from yellow to red for like 1 minute and then starts booting.

 

I'm not sure if this is a ram faulty  thing or what.

 

If anyone can provide some insight that would be much appreciated

reseat the ram or run a single stick and see if the profile can come back

From testing it seems to me a port of ram on the mobo is dead I have a spare set of ram and it won't even boot when plugged into the fourth port.

Two different sets of ram seems as though xmp no longer works so that's awesome just hangs my PC and won't boot when it's enabled

You say 4th ram channel is bad. Is this a LGA (Intel, no pins) CPU? If so, you may want to remove the CPU and look at the socket to see if any of the "golden fingers" have been bent. I had a 6950X with a flaky RAM channel which turned out to be poor connections in the socket.
