Problem randomly started occurring the past month or so during transition of G.skill trident Royal kit and I then returned that memory for Corsair Titanium... I was running the Royal kit and while its not perfect for my board it kinda worked running a 6400mhz kit @ 6000mhz but it still ran hot during gaming, so I swapped for Corsair titanium 48gb @ 6000mhz it runs about 10-15C cooler than my G.skill did. However during all of this I'm getting random DRAM lights on my MB (Aorus Z690 Ultra) it only occurs maybe once or twice a week. I can reboot and it goes away, and typically the machine still posts even if the DRAM light comes on, its only failed boot once. I can check task manager and memory shows set bios speed and proper amount of memory available.
My bios is slightly out of date but I've seen a few issues of people running F28 and less issues out of F27 so I've been hesitant to update, as far as settings with Corsair im just using XMP profile 2 @ 6200MHZ and its been fine, passes benchmarks and runs games. I did have memory boot set to Auto, I can maybe eliminate the problem enabling/disabling memory fast boot? or Normal boot? not sure of the differences. Possibility of me suffering from 14700k failure? or maybe MB is faulty? I've had the board 2-3 years now?
System specs:
Windows 11
Evga 1200w PSU
Gigabyte 4090 OC
14700k
Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra (F27 Bios)
Corsair titanium dominator 48gb 6200mhz (slots A2 & B2)
2 980 Pro M.2s
Bios tweaks :
Insta 6ghz enabled
Xmp profile 2
High memory bandwidth enabled
Low Latency enabled ( I don't believe either of these would cause a D-Ram light.)
Memory fast boot set to (disabled currently)
System has been together since launch and just now experiencing this over the past month.
