Built another system the other day and it worked all well and good but for some reason, it sometimes doesnt want to boot on the display past the starting windows screen. Sometimes not even making it that far, just coming up with the bios promt screen. The PSU was taken from a working system which has only been had about a year and everything powers up and turns on in the system, including all the drive I can hear spin up and the front pannels I have.
RAM is recognized when I boot up and in the bios so doubt thats the issue.
CPU was fitted checking all the pins in advance because I was a bit paranoid I would mess it up
Green LED on the board is on.
Seems just like I cant see it? When it does make it to the display, the system recognizes everything and it works like a dream! Despite the red light under the sheilding, this being a DRAM issue light from what I gather? But the RAM is fully recognized upone boot???
Using a graphics card which is fully working and the latest drivers have been installed in safe mode. Tried the board HDMI and it makes no difference, just kinda seems like an intermittent problem with no obvious source. Once it wouldnt boot past the starting screen from the board but would from the DVI on the card and viceversa. Used all available posts except the displayport im pretty sure i have. Like I said, they are all successful but not all the time?
To clarify, when I say wont boot past the windows screen, I mean that it wont proceed to the windows login screen and the signal to the monitors are just lost. Have 2 monitors and tried each and both in various ports. Like I said, it all works, just not all the time. The DRAM light confusing me because there seem to be no issue and I always get to the ASUS initial bios prompt screen from which i enter the bios and see the RAM.
Not sure what else I can add?... just doesnt seem to be a consistent problem which is making it harder to diagnose. Will flash the CMOS when I get home (out atm) but not sure that would fix the warning light as the RAM is fully funtional.
All parts except the CPU and the mobo have been tried and tested with no error in another system.
Any advice? Use this site all the time but thought for once I would straight up ask instead off trolling through searching for answers.
Thanks.
