Constant orange warning light. What to do? Solved

Question

Hello, I assembled my setup for about 1700 euros. All my fans are working, my graphics card, the water cooling, the power supply too, etc. In short, everything works but the DRAM light is lit orange and stays lit. I cleaned my RAM sticks, they are indeed well seated in my motherboard. I followed the recommended combinations of slots, I tried all the slots, I cleared the CMOS, BIOS, nothing helps. I therefore returned my motherboard and got another one, *all the components are compatible but nothing changes. As a result, my screen does not recognize my PC even with the HDMI cable plugged into the graphics card. In short, I need help please. My setup is completely compatible. I’m using DDR5, my processor is the same, which is the Ryzen 5 7600X, my motherboard is the ROG Strix B650 Gaming WiFi, my power supply is 850W, and my two DDR5 5600MHz sticks are 32GB. Thank you for your possible response.

Hello Could you post some (very) good quality photos of the inside of your PC, as well as the brand and model of the RAM? That would be great....  Signature Waiting for more replies; I'm attracting trolls....

"All my fans are working, my graphics card, the watercooling, the power supply too, etc." Which means you have a dedicated GPU. What brand and model is your GPU? Where do you connect your screen? To the motherboard or the GPU?

Thank you for your responses, my RAM sticks are Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB, so it's 2x16. My graphics card is an MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 2X and I am correctly connecting an HDMI cable from a graphics card port to my screen (an Asus TUF Gaming).

We need photos. A build made up of new parts that doesn't start doesn’t exist. It's always a mounting error, a forgotten cable, or an incompatibility, always. And to get a first idea, you need to observe the assembly.  Signature Waiting for other responses; I'm attracting trolls....

Well, the RAM is not placed in the correct slots. What is the exact reference and brand of the motherboard, because "b650 gaming wifi" on Google leads to a MSI, whereas yours displays a "republic of gamers" which belongs to Asus........

Whoa.... I just spotted another anomaly: The connector in the top left of the motherboard, dedicated to the processor, usually called ATX12V or PWR_CPU on others, you have plugged the 12-pin connector reserved for the graphics card into it, so I don’t know what you connected to the 4070 then.......... In any case, that for the CPU is not good at all..........check your PSU manual, and the power connection diagram for your motherboard.

ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI – AMD Ryzen AM5 ATX gaming motherboard (12+2 power phases, DDR5, 3 x M.2, PCIe 4.0, 2.5G LAN, WiFi 6E, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, Aura Sync RGB) is the reference for my motherboard Regarding the RAM sticks, it's because I changed the slots to see if some were faulty. And concerning the cables, I'll check quickly for the issue; I'll send you the one I used for my graphics card

ok, I take note and look at the manual, thank you

I looked and I believe it's the right cable, a 2x4 pin.  Are you sure this cable is not the right one, with all due respect? Could the DRAM light be related to the CPU cable? Since there are 12 pins on my motherboard, I had separated one to properly connect its 12 pins; shouldn't I have done that?

Hey, I'm disconnecting but it still doesn't work. I'm also changing the RAM sticks, I've tried them all, I only put one in, nothing changes, the light is still on. It could be that the RAMs are defective! The fact that both would be is a bit unlikely, right?

max · Answer

It's still not working. Do you think it could be due to the RAM sticks?

It is true that DDR5 still has some issues; you need to stick to the lists until the BIOS is updated. Also check that the RAM sticks are properly inserted; the locking system from Asus, which is unique to them, is not great. You need to firmly push down on the side without the lever while applying pressure on the lever side. The graphics card, same thing; don't hesitate to push down very hard to make sure it's fully seated in the slot.  Signature Wait for other responses; I attract trolls....

Okay, thank you very much, I will take a look at that. As for the RAM positioning, believe me, I have tried everything and my sticks are even more than properly seated. In any case, I will check the compatibilities.

Ok, I think I'm going to get some new RAM. On the Amazon site, what kind of RAM would you recommend that has enough power according to my configuration and is also compatible with my motherboard, please?

max · Answer

So I'm thinking of looking at other RAM sticks. Can you recommend two RAM sticks with power that is consistent with my setup and also compatible with my motherboard, and on Amazon please. Thank you.

flo88 · Answer

I advise you not to proceed this way. I’m convinced that it’s a poorly installed or incorrectly put together part; we haven’t checked the CPU installation, for example... and without the PC in hand, we might have missed something obvious. Nothing is certain to implicate the RAM, the light to me means nothing, I haven't relied on these debugging gadgets for a long time. Before buying new hardware, we should consult a technician who has enough parts to test other RAM, for example.  Signature Waiting for other responses; I attract trolls....

Okay, I will definitely ask an expert for advice. I have, however, changed the positions of my RAM sticks to A2 and B2, and as a result, for 1 second, my RAM indicator light turned orange and then turned off, the CPU indicator lit up red for 3 seconds and then turned off, and finally, the RGA light turned white and stayed on while the boot light also turned green.

max · Answer

Okay, so what can I do about the VGA light? What does it mean?

epango · Answer

If the VGA indicator stays on after powering up, it means that the graphics card is the problem. Check that the graphics card is properly seated in the PCIe 16X slot and that the cable or cables are properly connected.

PS: Contrary to what I believed, the MSI RTX™ 4070 VENTUS 2X is powered by a single PCIe 8-pin cable. I don't know if you mentioned it already, what power supply (brand and model) do you have?

max · Answer

I have an 850W from NZXT, modular. By the way, my problem is "solved". I'm in the BIOS, but when I turn on my PC, there is still this problem with the orange DRAM light, then the red CPU light, and then the white VGA light. They all eventually turn off, but is this a problem?

To be honest, I'm not quite sure, but know that you have been of great help to me, and I thank you infinitely for taking the time to help me. Thank you.
