computer not posting.

[Skatester07]

I've got the b150 pro gaming aura motherboard that has a troubleshooting feature with led's that indicate where the problem is when booting up. It stops at the ram led and when i checked the ram on of them had a burn spot on it along with a burn spot on the dimm slot. I tried using another stick of ram in the other slots but it still wouldn't post. Do I have to buy another motherboard?

The ram might have killed the ram slot -- or the board might have killed the ram.

 

If there is no visible damage on the motherboard and you purchased it less than 3 years ago, you could send it back for warranty replacement.

 

You can try Clearing the CMOS before thinking about RMA.

Follow the procedure on page 1-14 of your manual, it will clear CMOS (BIOS settings). Basically cut the power on your power supply, remove the "watch" battery on the motherboard, short the contacts illustrated in the manual with a screwdriver. 

 

It's on the bottom right of the motherboard, labeled : CLRTC, it's two pins.
