Asus Z97-AR motherboard DRAM LED solid red after replacing power source.

amateur expert · Feb 10, 2016

My computer was working fine then one night I started to have an issue with my computer shutting down and saying it was a issue with power surges. I replaced the power source and kept everything the same but when I when I started it up I had a solid red DRAM light.

I have owned this game for 8 months so most of the solutions suggested don't apply. If you need more info on my computer just ask.

Asus z97-AR
Intel i5
8 Gb Balistix Sport
GeForce GTX 960
Corsair CX600

Not sure what the problem may be, but have you properly seated the RAM into place? Unplug your pc and carefully check to make sure. If it is not, take it out and carefully snap it back in there.

I should have stated that I tried most of the basic things that are posted on this forum. I have pulled out my ram and put it back in in every single combination possible. I have confirmed it is the right ram for my MOBO. I removed the MOBO battery and put it back in. I have checked if all the power cords are correct at least 5 times.

I need original ideas, I have come and asked because I am a mere plebeian and need some computer god to give me a new idea.

Sounds like the PSU is headed south, see if you have or can borrow a better PSU to try, the CX line is made with weak caps

It is a brand new psu. I doubt that is the issue. I am getting power to everything, would it be possible that my psu doesnt send enough power to certain parts of my psu? Would that cause my dram LED to come on?

Have a look at this thread where someone is having a similar issue as you. http:// Basically they're saying to turn off anti-surge protection in the BIOS. That sounds a little crazy to me, but apparently it helped them with their problem. Your problem may very well be due to something else.

Best of luck, bud. Please update us if you get things working again.

I can't check or change the BIOS becuase I am getting no output.
