Hey guys I was wondering if I can/should use my newly built PC. It was working fine until I installed internal WiFi adapter so I could download drivers. Ive check dimm memory did several mem86 ,reset cmos,did memok test everything checked out okay but still blinnks red twice . And ive been wanting to use my newly built gaming pc badly.I was able to install os with no problems at all and get on the internet ect. Would it hurt to use it,or should I wait to figure out the problem?

I would be using it if i were you if it works it cant be too big of a problem did you check to make sure all the ram is working if you have 2 sticks installed only one might be working right. What kind and how many ram sticks do u have installed?

HI and thanks for your reply! My motherboard is Asus M5a97 R2.0. I'm using (KINGSTON 8GB 1866MHZ DDR3 DIMM 2X4 HYPERX FURY RD)
And according to mem86 test it did 4 passes with 0 errors on both rams and I have the rams in the recommened A2 B2 slots of the motherboard. I've even tried placing them in different slots ,but that did not help either:\

Thanks :) and yeah after hours of countless tech support and testing I asked Asus for a beep error code list so i could identify the issue they said there was none for the motherboard so i just ended up bread boarding the motherboard. With just the cpu heat sink and psu it was solid red but I'm assuming that's to be expected do to no memory was installed.only when I installed the ram did it blink red so i just decided to return them and not deal with the hassel espically sence im still within the 30 days return policy.
