Dram light keeps on

[Plague Reaper]

After I restarted my PC the dram light turns on straight away and the PC does nothing anymore.

I already replaced the ram sticks in deferent slots and that didn't work either.

Removed the CMOS battery for 30 seconds and put it back in.

Try to do a bios flashback and the light blinks 2 times and turns solid.

Hi buddy,

 

Other things to try as follows:

 

1. Remove and reseat CPU & Cooler. If you have a poor contact with the CPU and socket pins then the Ram won't be correctly detected. Just make sure things are secured down with the correct pressure. Might be worth checking there's no detritus or bent pins when you've got it off.

 

2. Check there's nothing between the chassis and mobo that might be causing a short. Its a bit of a ball-ache but sometime a bench-build is a good idea. Just strip everything out and build the PC out of the case on your kitchen table.

 

3. If the above doesn't work, do you have another PC you can use to swap things in and out of? Always handy having a box of goodies or a doner PC for troubleshooting.

I just did the CPU and it didn't work.

There is nothing behind the motherboard.

I don't have spare parts the parts that I have are all to old

After a lot of testing I think my GPU is the problem becouse when I dont have the GPU in the pc boots after a long memory training but when I put my GPU back in stays stuck on the DRAM light.

Also try with a old GPU and with that one the pc also boots.

Sorry psoted as you said it was gpu issue

Try using just 1 stick of RAM, try each stick individually in all slots, but start with each one in slot A2 as shown in your mb manual

Just checking the obvious, are you using two x PCI-e cables from PSU? and not the loop through off one cable, you have the +2 of the 6+2 connected on both cables

All of a sudden the pc works again with the gpu i dont now how or what happend.
I booted to windows with the onboard gpu and i just tough fuck it i try it one more time with the gpu so i put the gpu back in for the 8 time to day and it boots......

may be GPU not fully seated previously ( 7 times ) some case tolerences are out slightly and make fitting wider cards difficult, But whatever it was enjoy your system

After I reseated the CPU I put the cooler back on with the old paste on it becouse i have no thermal paste anymore left so need to put new thermal paste on it again and to do i need to remove the gpu again becouse there is not much space in the case so hoping the gpu will work after i put it back in again after.
