On boot I found that my computer would not post and the DRAM led remained solid the whole time. After trying all the sticks of ram in all the different slots the problem persisted.
I figured it was more likely that the board was bad than all the sticks of ram so I upgraded my board (from B450f gaming to x570 tuf plus). I installed everything and still getting the led.
So I bought new ram and when I installed that the led remained on with no post.
I have tried loosening the cooler (has been suggested on the forums posts that I have seen.)
Tried both sets of ram in different configs
Taking out the CMOS battery and letting that sit for a while.
Shorting out the CLRTC pins
Using another power supply to see if that was the issue.
Ive heard that Asus boards have the memok button on them but it seems the x570 tuf doesn't or at least I can't locate it.
I'm looking into getting a test PSU to test that but other than that I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions?
