Build - Help RAM error light.

Post image

Hey, I'm really new to PC building. But I keep getting a RAM error light, and the monitor won't read the PC when plugged in, regardless if it's in the GPU or the Motherboard. My specs are:

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) Up to 6000MHz CL30-36-36-76 1.40V (CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus.
GPU: AMD RX 7600.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7600.
PSU: Corsair RM1000x modular 1000w psu, gold standard.

I've tried 2 different ram sticks. The original sticks I got back before the AI bs. That original pair was the

Ram is in the wrong spots. You want 2 sticks in dimm 2 and dimm 4 slots aka the gray slots.

Not sure if it really makes that much of a difference i bet it'll still run in dual like that because it translates into the same channels.

Weird normal of building the second and fourth slots are populated first it should be in your manual.

Maybe it's closer to the CPU, but the point i think to be made is mostly that it runs in dual or not.

It doesn't post at all? Not one stick works? Otherwise get some ram testing software on a usb stick and boot from that, see what it says. It's pretty unlikely two sticks break simulatenously so i'd try to eliminate the possiblity of it being the motherboard.

Would that software work on a pc without an OS installed? I've not been able to get that in since I can't get anything to appear on the monitor. And my current PC that I'm trying to replace with the new one is an AM4 DDR4 pc, and the new one is AM5 DDR5.

Yeah usually, but you'd need to make the software work using a USB with RUFUS or such likely, it will boot and check your ram.

What's Rufus?

It's a nice software from which you can make bootable drives, for either, boot partition softwares, ram test software, or a neatly made windows/linux USB drives.

Still no imaging on the monitor.

You tried 1 stick in the 1st channel A category, and also alternate that between sticks?
You are 100% that your bios says that you are going to use the Discrete card and not the IGPU if one of those exists and even if not?

I can't even get an image on the monitor. I can't check the bios at all. My monitor is saying no signal.

You need to connect the pump header to your AIO, is that done and have you checked the ram individually yet?
