Hello!

I was building my computer, and when I went to boot it up, I noticed the EZ Debug LED indicated that there was a DRAM Failure or the DRAM wasn't detected. I've never reached the BIOS. I've made a post on Reddit, where someone suggests underclocking the 2666MHz RAM, but it seems you actually need to use the BIOS...
I've made a list here of my parts (I'm aware now that apparently, the CX750 is not very good...)

EDIT: I'm going to bed, I'll check this thread later. Thanks to anyone who responds, I'll try to give you my thanks!
 


Thanks mate, I'll go through everything again.

 
If all else fails take it out of the case and 'breadboard' it. That will rule out any possible shorts.
