ASUS z170-S solid white LED for Dram and no video output

[Mhollinshead]

I have looked around and couldn't find anything about the z170-S holding a solid white led for dram.

I have the g.skill ripjaw v series 16gb (2x8) plugged into the a2 and b2 slot. Everything I've read said this should be compatible.

This is my first time building a PC so I'm completely at a lost. Any comments or ideas to look at would be appreciated!

Cheers

Is this your motherboard? https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH-Z170-S/

Try putting both sticks of RAM in the same colored slots. Try both colors. If that doesn't work, try again and push the MemOK! button

What is the model number of your memory kit?

That is my motherboard.

I've tried putting them in the same colors (a1/b1 and a2/b2 as the book recommends) are you saying try a1 and a2?

2500MHz is a rather odd speed. It may not be compatible. Please try a 2400MHz or 2666MHz model.

My apologies it is a 2400. I miswrote that

Okay... That model is fully compatible with that board. Please contact G.Skill and let them know that they have sent you faulty memory. They will guide you through the replacement process. The only thing you may have to pay for is shipping and that will likely be less than $10.

There nothing else I could be doing wrong or anything else to try?

If your motherboard is kicking out a memory error when you're using a compatible kit, then either the memory is bad or the motherboard's memory controller is bad. Either way, it's easier to start with replacing the memory, since replacing it causes the smallest change to system hardware configuration.
