Question Asus Error code 58/yellow Dram light.

[Ixta]

I am in the process of upgrading to mint 21 and just did a time shift. I was working in libre office and my Synology nas and the pc froze.



I rebooted via mobo and it won’t post.
Dram yellow light all the time and qcode 58.
“ CPU self test failed or possible cpu cache error”

Unplugged all external hd and peripherals. Took out battery. Reset cmos, took out one ram. Tried again. Etc etc. Any idea? I’ve ran this cpu since I built it.

Ya, you only took out one ram. What if the other is bad, also they need to be in certain slots when used independently, Check your mother board manual for which slots to use. I have a similar problem. The yellow light comes on because the bios is detecting a defect of some sort.
