A few weeks ago I built my first PC. Everything was working well until a week ago when it suddenly wouldn't turn on correctly. When I turned it on everything appeared to be running, but there was a red light on the bottom right of my motherboard. There was another one next to it that would flash occasionally. I looked in my manual, it said that the one that was always on was my CPU light and the flashing one was my DRAM light. I took out the CPU to make sure there were no bent pins or anything and didn't see any. Not knowing what was wrong, I went on reddit to r/buildapc for some help. They suggested swapping my RAM to different slots, and it worked for a few days. But after a few days it happened again. I figured since there was a problem with my RAM before it must be my RAM failing so I ordered a new kit. I have since gotten this kit and swapped out my RAM but it still isn't working. I was hoping someone over here might be able to help?

im going yo say your CPU has a busted memory controller or the motherboard hates you

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
