Macsusc Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hmm, shouldn't mess with cmos battery usually, wait for waffles to sort this out, if we need to replace anything we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Can you drop an image of how you have the monitor plugged into the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyWaffles Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hey guys, this is a very interesting situation, as it was posting for you and now doesn't, I would check IF the GPU had come loose a little bit in transit, and just finally fell that mm more where it wont connect now? Can you please send/upload an image of the internet of the PC, focusing mainly on the GPU, also I believe that Motherboard should have debug lights, if you could get an image of them for me too please. That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat_Dad8311 Posted Friday at 12:37 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 12:37 PM Here's a better picture of the res light sorry about the forst one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted Friday at 12:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:54 PM 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.

Cat_Dad8311 Posted Friday at 02:23 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:23 PM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Dad8311 Posted Friday at 03:03 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:03 PM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted Saturday at 03:13 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:13 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyWaffles Posted Saturday at 05:07 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:07 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Dad8311 Posted Saturday at 04:02 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:02 PM Okay i did that also tried removing one at a time the light is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Dad8311 Posted Saturday at 04:28 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:28 PM And thx for that one pic helped getting the fan off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyWaffles Posted Sunday at 10:13 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:13 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Dad8311 Posted Sunday at 06:14 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:14 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_Dad8311 Posted 52 minutes ago Author Share Posted 52 minutes ago 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted 17 minutes ago Share Posted 17 minutes ago Can you take a photo of the ram sticks and the positions they are seated in? They should be in A2 and B2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted 11 minutes ago Share Posted 11 minutes ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macsusc Posted 4 minutes ago Share Posted 4 minutes ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
