  1. What's new in this club
  2. Now it has a boot light and the ram light on just the one stick of ram in it after trying all of it I'm really afraid I'm just going to make it worse now I have another light I'm just gonna stop maybe one day when and if I ever get healthy and can work again I'll take it to like a best buy geek squad but if I keep touching it it will get worse everything I touch does
  3. Right now I put the flash drive on now ram in and hit the flash button the PC came on and it's flashing on the back so I'm hoping that's the flash doing its thing after it stops I'll clear the cmos again put in one stick in A2 and boot then take a pic of it
  4. Okay so the Motherboard says A2 and B2 i tried that I haven't tried taking out all the ram and clearing the cmos and then doing the flash putting in just one stick in a2 and try that so going to do that next and ill update and see what happpens
  5. I 100% agree with @Macsuscassumptions. Those are the exact steps I would undertake to try to rectify this issue. @Cat_Dad8311Honestly mate, there's no need to worry. Nothing on a PC can't be repaired or replaced. Sometimes it takes a few steps to ascertain the exact issue, but we will figure it out and get this PC going for you.
  6. If the above does not work. Then we do this Do This Exactly Step 1: Download Latest BIOS On another computer: Go to Gigabyte support page for B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Download latest BIOS Extract file Rename BIOS file to: GIGABYTE.bin (Required for Q-Flash Plus) Step 2: Prepare USB Format USB to FAT32 Copy only the renamed BIOS file to root Step 3: Flash BIOS Turn PC off Leave PSU plugged in and switched ON Insert USB into the white Q-Flash USB port (rear I/O) Press the Q-Flash Plus button The small LED should start blinking. Do NOT interrupt. Wait until blinking stops completely. Step 4: After Flash Completes Clear CMOS again Install one RAM stick in A2 Boot Since the computer was booting before, what may have happened is during your windows update, you either had the PC turn off due to a power surge or someone turned it off or it corrupted the BIOS for some othe reason. If we re install the bios and clear the cmos and it still does not run, I think we need to get either a new CPU or new ram sticks.
  7. Install just ONE stick in A2, second from the CPU cooler. While the PC is off. Then boot it up, send a pic of the motherboard at this time. If it doesn't boot, use the other ram stick in A2.
  8. Can you take a photo of the ram sticks and the positions they are seated in? They should be in A2 and B2
  9. Yeah it booted up and I feel like it did a bios update but I didnt read what the update was before bed and tomorrow ill download the manual again and no I dont want any parts ordered for it cause im not the right person to know really what im doing right now so probably best just to leave it be
  10. @Cat_Dad8311 do not give up, everything in life takes a bit of effort, this type of stuff happens to everyone, we just need to get through it together and we will. We can order you new RAM we just need to confirm that the RAM is dead, the computer initially booted up for you and went into a Windows update correct? It is very strange that the RAM would have suddenly had a fault after this. We just need to make sure that the RAM 100% needs to be replaced before we make the order for you. Can you confirm that you were taking the RAM out and reseating it with the computer OFF before turning it ON again? @AlmightyWaffles can you please double check the motherboard manual to confirm which slots the RAM should be seated in? Also check the manual for any other reasons the DRAM can be lighting up.
  11. I have tried each stick one at a time the light never changes ita really weird day one I got it to boot went to bed that night it said had to update before shutting down which is cool then the next morning when I tried turning it on thats what happened but to be honest thats the way it goes for me. I have the type of life that is all lemons lol but I appreciate the help but I think im just gonna call it for a bit.
  12. Next step would be 1. Test RAM Individually Remove all RAM sticks except one Try that single stick in each RAM slot one at a time If it works in one slot but not others, you may have a bad slot If none work with that stick, try a different stick If after trying both modules in every slot and the DRAM light is still not working, then it is a strong possibility there is something wrong with the RAM. However I still doubt this to be the issue, as RAM is usually a pretty solid component in a PC.
  13. Okay i did that also tried removing one at a time the light is still there
  14. The DRAM indicator light signifies an issue with the RAM modules. As an initial troubleshooting step, I recommend reseating the RAM. Begin by removing the fan assembly shown in the image above. Next, locate the RAM sockets and press down on the retaining clips at the top of each socket to release the modules. Carefully remove the RAM sticks, noting their original positions. When reinstalling, ensure the pins on the modules align correctly with the socket notches. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the RAM until the retaining clips snap securely into place around the modules.
  15. Pop this fan off, you just need to pull the metal clamps on each side of it, should come off easily, you should see some ram under there
  16. And as far as the ram i think its behind the cooling fans and things and with my current health and condition im not gonna try and remove anything to get to it I have to many spams in my hands to trust myself
  17. Yeah I figured i wouldn't touch or do anything else till waffle says so as he replies ill try things and it will get there
  18. Have you tried reseating the RAM? How about trying to boot with just one RAM stick and then just one of the other ones? They also need to be in the right slots based on the motherboards manual, sometimes that means A2 + B2 not A1 + A2. I'll let Waffles advise further though 🙂 thanks guys.
  19. Here's a better picture of the res light sorry about the forst one
  20. Here's the pics and yes I have it connected to the graphics card had to pop those plastic covers off and I think that red light is what yoir looking for
  21. Okay i will turn it on in a bit and take the pics and post still asleep they put me on stronger meds see the doctor/surgeon on March 9th but let me get to where im up a bit and ill get those to you

  23. Yep let's see the debug lights, also besat way to make sure the GPU is not loose is to simply reseat it, take it out entirely and plug it back in. In terms of cables, just make sure you are plugging them into the GPU, not the motherboard outputs on the back 🙂
