Good evening,
I recently changed my CPU, for which I had to update my BIOS and remove one of my RAM sticks.
It turned on once, but it reached 95°C (its supposed maximum temperature), even without any applications running. So it was impossible to play a game.
As a result, I changed the thermal paste (there was too much) and reinserted the missing RAM stick.
When I try to turn it on, everything seems to be working (fans, including the cooler, are working, and the LEDs are on).
However, nothing is displayed on the screen, the CPU Ez Debug LED is lit, then turns off, and the DRAM LED lights up next and stays on.
I have tried:
- Removing and changing the RAM slots.
- Removing the graphics card. Then the SSD.
- Removing the BIOS battery to reset it.
- Performing a CMOS reset.
Nothing works, still a black screen and this DRAM Debug LED lit.
Here is my current setup:
CPU: R5 5600X (I had the 3 3200G before changing). And its cooler.
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max II.
GPU: GTX 1050Ti (which I will replace with an RTX 2060 next week).
RAM: 2×8GB DDR4 3200Mhz from Crucial.
I have tried all the solutions that worked for others who had this problem on this forum and others.

I found it on the manufacturer's website:
