Won't display, Dram ez led debug

[sxestraightedgesxe]

Hey guys so I just got my new parts to upgrade my PC.

Mbd - MSI B350m Gaming Pro
Cpu - Ryzen 7 1700x
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaw 5 DDR4-2400
Gpu - Evga gtx 1060
Cooling system - Corsair H100i

It's not displaying though it is connected through VGA from Mbd to the monitor and it's also stopped at the DRAM Led indicator.(2nd down from the top). Everything is compatible I've run the checks and double checked to make sure all parts are supported by each other. Not sure where to go from here without the display?

You'd have to connect the monitor to the card. The onboard does not work witTry testing each RAM slot with single module.

 

[Shektron]

Connect the display to the graphics card, not the motherboard.

 

[sxestraightedgesxe]

Tried a connection from gpu to display still nothing.

Connection type is Displayport

As suggested, try testing each RAM kit separately, and all the different combinations as well. If you have only one stick, you might want to check if that kit is working or not, perhaps by testing it in a someone else's system that works properly.

The Ram is brand new 2x8gbs is there any reason it would just not work?

Oh yeah, products can be DOA - dead on arrival. That can happen with computer components sometimes, it is fairly common.

if you have ram slots with only a clip at the top end

you have to make sure the bottom end is properly engaged

seen it loads of times where the end with no clip wasnt home properly

if you have 2 clips then probably not the problem

It's a two clip board:

I'll have a buddy test it on his rig today. If it works on his what would be the next step?

Well you should take a few things then - take your graphics card, your power supply, and the RAM kit when going to your buddy. First test the RAM. If it works, then put your graphics card, if it still works, remove all connections and install your power supply's cables instead. If the system still works, then your motherboard or CPU is faulty. If, at some point, your friend's system fails to boot, then whatever you added before that is the probably the culprit for failure of your build.

thanks

usually i go have a look--but was a bit busy

though still make sure its clipped in properly

some people dont realise it can take a fair bit of pressure sometimes

Shektron Idk if he'd be up for doing all that. Ram is easy. Gpu is fairly easy but he won't go through and do the psu. All my parts were from a preexisting PC that I was using literally yesterday perfectly fine. So I'll just give him the ram for now.

 

[Shektron]

Okay skip the PSU, but at least do the GPU as well.

 

[sxestraightedgesxe]

Alright I'll update tonight @ 1:30am PST

Hey so I was able to test the ram at work in my office on another pc I was building it worked fine and completed post. Do you think there may be a solution in a CMOS reset or possible a BIOS update through USB(Even without the display?)?

I submitted an exchange on amazon for the board and thats due to arrive on the 5th but I figure might as well keep cracking at this mbd while I can then I can just cancel the return.

Yeah you can clear the CMOS, should actually have done that first, but that's fine. If you can update the BIOS without a display, then you should do that as well, though I don't think it's possible. But it really seems like a hardware issue to me, maybe the DIMM slots are bad, because if the RAM works in another PC, and the same RAM is giving a DRAM error in another PC, it's probably the motherboard, or there's just a compatibility issue, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Yeah I feel that. I'm gonna try to do the CMOS when I get home. If to no avail sounds like I'm SOL and gotta wait 3 long dreadful days until my new mbd arrives. Thank you for all the help my friend!
