For all people saying it not RAM, I got red CPU light, pulled out RAM, put it back in, and it started working

[@UnknownVans]

I see a lot of complaints here. while ram likely wouldn't be the issue here, since the CPU light is on, making sure the CPU is seated properly is a lot of hassle, so it's good to check the easy stuff first, even if it most likely isn't the issue. here I would probably make sure the CPU power is properly connected to the motherboard, then I'd probably swap the ram out with known good ram like this guy just to be safe. after that you go into the stuff thats more of a hassle, since you eliminated the easy fixes first. this is common in troubleshooting pcs since often times the underlying problem isn't necessarily what it may appear to be.

[@duke605]

Yup. Bunch of armchair technicians that know not what they speak of

[@nep-nep6575]

@@duke605dunno, If the CPU error light is on, and there’s a separate DRAM error light that also didn’t go on, then I’m damn sure checking the CPU first. Error codes almost always point right to the issue…if only motherboard manufacturers would bring back beep codes as standard so you know exactly what the problem is. Even Apple still uses old fashioned beep codes. One beep every 5 seconds means no Ram detected, repeated 3 beeps means the Ram is bad, and beeps in an S.O.S pattern is a firmware issue.

Going through this now.. Only time my computer will come on is if I reseat the cpu.. As of this morning I updated the bios and will be changing cmos battery.. If I leave the computer powered off for a while the issue comes back.. But if I restart it or turn it off and back on after 10 mins it works, but if left off for long periods of time I have to reseat.

I’m having a boot issue as well. Yellow light on DRAM and Red light on CPU. I’ve tried individual ram sticks, I’ve tried no ram sticks, I’ve tried reseating cpu (NZXT Kraken 240 RGB).

Thinking a may need a new mobo, I got this in Oct. 2023 so I’m only 6 months into warranty. I’ll try to get a new one. I see no damage to the pins on the cou or ram sticks either. Anyone have any advice?

Next time it says there is a problem with the central processing unit try working on that first because if there were a problem with the dram the light for the dram will turn on. Perhaps that clears things up for some people.

[@YourPersonalGeek]

I always start with easiest stuff first when troubleshooting could be caused by ram stick not clicked in all the way, cpu light is first so it would never reach the dram light even. I suspected it wouldn’t be the ram most likely but like I said cover all the bases especially when it only takes a minute

@LoneR - Not always true. I've seen the CPU light for DRAM issues and I've seen the VGA light for CPU issues. It's not always so straightforward when components rely on each other. It's also a valid strategy to start with DRAM since typically DRAM will fail faster than a CPU.

[@stxrfighter]

It was most likely the cooler, over time the mounting pressure can shift and that will cause issues with AMD CPUs being detected for some reason. I haven't seen this as much with lga sockets.

Mine did this recently and I reset the CMOS and everything came back to life.

[@Bigtexbbq]

I hope this never happens to my build cause it’s terrifying, but hopefully I remember that cmos should be first resort.

[@drumiztahngbulok]

Could be a multitude of things. *possibilities* this my normal diagnose test *Processor gets stuck by a defective memory from POSTing which could be why the CPU light is on. *Processor gets stuck by a corrupted bios *Processor gets stuck by a defective ssd/hdd *Check Processor for bent pins then reseat it. *Trial of Q-Flash/Bios Flashback If none of this fixed it, i will then try a new processor. Newer Processors control the power for the motherboard, if still no then last would be the motherboard. i think the person diagnosing this PC already has a lot of experience judging by his ways.

if you just got a new pc or you just build it yourself and your getting this, it probably means you need to reset your cpu to your motherboard meaning that the motherboard needs to scan the new cpu so just hold on to the power button for 10 seconds wait atleadt 5 and turn in back on and it send you to BIOS

And i had soo many issues with intel. Especially overheating on many of intel's laptops (and followed by thermal throttling), so many of my friends complaining how unstable their intel system are, after upgrading to Win 11. Some even got their laptop motherboard bricked, and driver issues, random bluescreen, etc. None of my friends who use AMD complaining, even when that "AMD Perf Handicap" issue going on early release of W11. I moved on to AMD last year, and i'm not going back to intel. Edit : Not until they improve their way of competing with other chipmakers, and fix their driver issues. Not mocking each other is good enough. look at AMD and Apple. they compete with sportsmanship. Unlike the one who said "AMD is in our rearview mirror, and never again will they be in the windshield".

Damn so many backseat PC Specialists, they dont know shit about PCs and it shows.. the dram controller is literally on the CPU, if you dont go RAM first, which is the easiest step, you should never touch PCs again. My guy in the video did everything perfectly step by step and thats coming from someone with over 15 years of Expierience.

If it would be so easy.. but no, it has to be shit, cause its mine, when mine, than always shit.

So I’ve always loved building pc’s and I have had and built a few of my own until I finally built my dream pc. Now my little brother wanted a gaming oc for Christmas and the problem I’m running into is that the pc will boot up but not with the power button. Second issue is that the display doesn’t show. And finally the last problem… the cpu light is on and I’ve taken it out and made sure all pins were good and everything but it still shows the light and no display. I’ve reset cmos replaced the battery and I’m out of ideas.

[@natebegler]

@@luks6436 unfortunately not, gonna take another look this weekend and see what I can do

[@Raigarak]

@@natebegler you figured out the issue?

[@JakeNach]

These comments are stupid. The CPU literally almost never fails; it indicates an issue when the PC attempts to POST and reaches the CPU stage. Could be RAM, could be the motherboard, could be the GPU, the PSU, an unplugged cable. It's very rarely something wrong with the CPU, as obvious as you'd think that'd be.

Ive bought a new motherboard and still get the same red light cpu then dram error my last build stopped working because cpu kept overheating i saw bent pins on the motherboard so bought a new one, is my cpu just dead now?
