Asus Z97- Pro Gamer - Recent build with constant DRAM LED

[Art_Vandelay]

Hi all,

Just finished installing a new Mobo and CPU and all was good at first. Reinstalled windows and most of my core programmes, the system was running like a dream for 4 hours or so, and restarts after updates caused 0 issues.

Unfortunately, my system froze. I powered down and rebooted. I got the dreaded restart loop, so resetted CMOS. It remedied the loop but now I get a fully lit DRAM light, and the rear usb ports stopped working as my keyboard and mouse don't power up.

If it is relevant, I was doing some installing at the time of the initial crash - was installing the latest driver for my graphics card, was downloading audio drivers from slim-drivers - and was installing a benchmark program on steam.

Any help would be welcome, just confused on how it could go from perfect working order to this in no time at all.

Anyway, this is my build:

CPU: 4790k
MB: Asus Z97-Pro Gamer
Case: NXZT Phanthom 410
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB ACX
RAM; 2x Transcend JM1333klh-8 8gb
PSU: XFX Core Edition 850W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
SDD: Crucial M500 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HDD Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Update: Played around with the my two sticks of Ram in different slots, the RAM in A1 or A2 results in this problem, runs fine in B1 & B2 - is it possible for the ram slots to fail out of the blue, or is it a fixable issue?


Thanks in advance.

Remedied the issue myself - by simply updating all drivers and windows updates without using the A1 or A2 slots. Now all DRAM slots are okay.
