I have had my computer built for quite a long time, and it has always showed the white LED in the top right of the motherboard. However, today I tried booting it up and it showed the white indicator and gave a beep as if it was booting normally, but there was no display. I tried reseating the DP cable on both the GPU and monitor, but still no display. Then, I tried rebooting again but it gave me the yellow indicator, and then I tried it again and it gave me the red indicator. Every time I have tried booting since then, it has given me the red LED with no beeps. I have a Ryzen 5 1600X, ASUS Strix B350-F Gaming, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz, ASUS Strix GTX 1070 Ti.

The RAM got reset to 2133 MHz when I reset CMOS trying to fix the problem. The PSU I have is the Corsair RM650x, which I've been using for about the past 8 months

I just tried reseating the 8 pin and 24 pin cables, nothing changed, then tried running just one stick of RAM, and still nothing changed.
 


Place the stick of RAM on the slot A2 (second slot from CPU)
Is the system working with RAM running at 2133? What's the RAM model number?
Ryzen is a little sensitive to RAM speeds. Is that ram kit on the QVL list for the ASUS Strix B350-F motherboard?
On the Corsair website, is that RAM kit listed when you select ASUS Strix B350-F motherboard?

The system normally works at 2133MHz, and it's turning on at 2133MHz, just not posting now. The RAM model number is CMK8GX4M2B3000C15. I was able to verify that my RAM kit is compatible with my motherboard on the ASUS website, but it doesn't seem as though the Corsair website is updated enough to verify any compatibility regarding any of the Ryzen boards.

So I bought two different sets of 2x4GB about two weeks apart from each other, and this was almost a year ago. If the RAM is the problem, how is it that it was able to work for such a long time, but then just took a dump on me all of a sudden?
 


Usually that's how it happens. Components work fine and they just can stop working.
Sometimes we don't see subtle warnings like a PC freezes or hangs for a millisecond.
If you want to continue troubleshooting let me know.
When I see that red light I start with the RAM, PSU, GPU then CPU.
I would reset the board and place one stick of RAM on the A2 slot (2nd slot from CPU), if it boots the I place another matching RAM stick on the B2 slot (farthest slot from CPU).

I swapped GPUs between two rigs, and the 1070 Ti didn't work in the other system, even with a different power cable than I usually use. The spare GPU worked in my system though.
