When I first got the system, I sent it back to where I bought it because the DRAM light was red and they tested it and uploaded a video, the system was working fine. Today, the case came back to me and when I first tried it, the same DRAM light was red, the case fans were spinning and the RGBs were also on. However, I turned it off and on a few times, this time it was not the DRAM but the CPU light that was red and the case RGBs were not on (the fans were spinning).

I tried many methods, starting with single RAM, changing slots, removing BIOS battery and resetting it.

What is the solution to the problem? I have been struggling with this system for weeks and I have not been able to reach a happy ending.

System specifications:

  • R7 9700X
  • Gigabyte B850M D3HP
  • XPG Lancer 16 GB (X2)
  • ASUS Prime OC RTX 5070
  • Kingston KC3000 2TB
  • XPG Invader X
  • FSP VITA 750W

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

How is the processor being cooled in your system? Try removing the discrete GPU and seeing if that resolves your issue though in hindsight, you paid for a working system, troubleshooting it on your own could be grounds for the seller to void your warranty.

Moved thread from Motherboards section to Systems section.
