Hi everyone,
I’m currently facing a really strange situation. Long story short, I added a negative offset of -5 on all cores because I was planning on optimizing per core later. My PC was working perfectly fine for about 4 days, but then it suddenly switched off. When I turned it back on, everything lit up, but the DRAM light on the motherboard stayed on, and my peripherals weren’t working.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
• Reseating the CPU
• Reseating the RAM
• Checking if the pump and radiator are too tight
• Testing with a single stick of RAM in every slot
• Resetting the CMOS
• Flashing the BIOS to an older version
• Checking for bent pins on the CPU
• Checking cables from the PSU to the motherboard
I might have missed a few things because I tried so many…
I took the PC to a repair shop for diagnostics. They told me:
• My RAM posts on a different motherboard.
• My CPU posts on a different motherboard.
• Different RAM and CPU post on my motherboard.
They ran OCCT and saw errors in the Linpack test on the CPU, and suggested I should return it. But when I got home, I borrowed a different stick of RAM from a friend, and it worked.
Now, I’m super confused because:
• My RAM works on my friend’s motherboard and passed MemTest86 with no errors.
• My CPU passed OCCT with Linpack with no errors.
I can’t get my RAM to work on my PC. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My Specs:
• Case: Corsair iCue 5000X RGB
• Motherboard: MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI
• Video Card: Palit GeForce RTX 3090 GamingPro 24 GB
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
• CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240, 2x120 mm
• RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 32 GB (2x16 GB) 3600 MHz
• Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE 850 Gold V2
Thanks in advance!
