PC will not display anything, DRAM LED is showing on Q-LEDs.

 

X570 Gaming-F

2x16 3600MHz DDR4 RAM

3070

 

I turned my pc off, came back another day, didn’t work.

 

I’ve tried a lot:

re-seated pretty much every piece of hardware in the computer

 

re-sat and replaced CMOS

 

tried one memory module in one slot for both and in different slots

 

checked all my pins

 

tried to flash a BIOS on a USB

 

checked all cabled


tried a different RAM stick and it flashed between DRAM and CPU LEDs once each time

 

Ran Out of things to do from here.

If it's tripping the DRAM or CPU LED and replacing the ram with an entirely different kit and testing each slot individually doesn't work. Plus the other troubleshooting you've done, then it's either your Motherboard or CPU that are bad. I'd find someone you know or a shop who can test it further if you don't have another Motherboard or CPU laying around to test in the system.

I left it running and after 5 minutes it slowly POSTED through each LED. It went 1 LED, fail, 2 LED, fail, 3 LED, fail, pass, and then it booted and now it’s fine.

I have the exact same issue as you and have tried everything that you did (minus new RAM), left it on for 10 minutes and still, nothing.

My PC booted yesterday after leaving it for about 10 minutes. I’ve found out it’s not the DRAM LED being constantly on, and rather it’s my PC constantly trying to POST. It gets to DRAM, Fails, Tries again, and then sometimes it will eventually POST successfully. I have no idea what’s causing this.
