DRAM Light

loubig1983 · February 10, 2023

I came home from work today and my newish system was acting odd. I leave it on and when I got home it was running but unresponsive, no display and the LEDs were off except for the ram, RGB ram.

the DRAM LED was flashing. I forced it to restart and got it back but still acting odd. Razer mouse LEDs going crazy cannot change them with software (mouse works fine on older system it came from) . If I restart the system the DRAM LED starts flashing and i have to unplug the power cord and plug back in to get the system to start. System has not been overclocked in any way and EXPO RAM profile has been enabled for a while with no problems. I have checked the Ram Each stick on its own in each slot, same results. HWM showing over 2v on a core. I am thinking that my M-board is bad but wanted to ask

HWM has issues reading AMD system information, so odds are that's gonna be wrong. Use HWINFO64 or Ryzen Master to read them.

I'd be more suspicious of a BIOS issue than anything. Are you on the latest revision or have you tested a couple different versions? AMD does have the habit of every once in a whole putting out an update that breaks something related to memory support (on AM4 for instance there are 2-3 BIOS revisions where I can't get 3600 CL14 to POST, whereas other revisions will work at 4000+ CL14), so it's worth checking a couple to see if one of them makes it better.

I have not update the Bios at all, I was not having any problems and I ten not to update unless I have a problem. this is the first system i have built in a long time

(back on my I7 7700k at the moment for context) could I develop a problem like this randomly?
