Hello.
I've been building for some time on and off (don't do it for money so do It only when needed).
Been putting together a new build for someone. they kinda missed up cause at first it was to be a simple motherboard swap (ha-ha ¬_¬) but he didn't check things out before he brought the board so new ram was needed and a new processor.. and he got new power cause the old one he claimed was taxing too much oh well.
the build isn't going well. to cut it short, the CPU light flashes a tiny bit on the MSI Z170A (Gaming Pro Carbon they call it ¬_¬) debug led but the DRAM light is on most of the time. when I take out the ram, only the DRAM light goes off so it seams to be the new ram is faulty. I tried the different ram slots (it suggests only using number 2 for one stick of Ram. annoying it's a 8gb stick more then two gig sticks and I don't have any spare DDR4 to test it with and DDR4 isn't cheap.. having to send this ram back and get a new one is possible I think, but I'm trying to see if anything else might be the matter first.
I have bread boarded with no difference. I have reset the CMOS. the Beeping is one long beep, pause, long beep so again, believe it's the RAM..
Any ideas or does this just seam like it's passed Riley's Duck test? (If the bird walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then call it a duck).
