my P.C would initially turn on, motherboard, fans, ram, and gpu... but the error code yellow light indicating “dram” wouldn’t allow my motherboard to boot.
I had previously solved this issue by properly connecting my 8-pin cpu and just wiggling it until it worked.
Eventually I just decided to get a new motherboard so I wouldn’t have to constantly deal with this issue any longer
(this was like 6 months ago)
Now... I decided to upgrade my cpu and cpu cooler from a 3900x to a 5950x and a z63 to a z73 and when I went to boot, it had the same issue. I initially began trouble-shooting it by putting my old cpu into my motherboard since it had previously worked.
But then... when I went to power on my system my motherboard light would turn on but nothing else would, when I tried to turn on the power switch.
I initially thought my cpu was the problem since I noticed a little too much thermalpaste around the edges including some on the pins.
I replaced it back with the 5950x and it had the same issue. It initially would turn everything on...but give me a “yellow light” error code.
Now it doesn’t even turn on besides the motherboard light being on.
-ive tried reenforcing the power cables, but nothing
-I’ve tried the screwdriver trick try to boot it on, but nothing
-I’ve tried powering on without the cpu installed, but that doesn’t even turn the motherboard light on. Everything completely stays off
It all previously turned on until I decided to clean some of the thermalpaste residue left on the am4 socket where the cpu goes
motherboard: strix x570-e gaming
I’m starting to believe that I may somehow fried the motherboard...?
