Hey I don't know much about computers but I was playing this game and suddenly my computer turns off and I try to turn it on and it starts up but there is a red light which is the dram_led and then the monitor wasn't responding but the fans were on. I read that you are supposed to press the MemOk button on an asus but when I did that my computer turned off straight away and then restarted but this time the dram_led was flashing instead and it made this beep beep beep sound but one of the beeps was longer and then It kept shutting down and restarting. I put the ram from b2 and a2 to b1 and a1 and then it stopped making the beeping noises but now it is still flashing and if I keep it on it will just shut down and reboot and I don't know what to do

You will have to test your DIMMs or have them tested, as the DRAM_LED is constantly lit. Try swapping them around incase one is failing or swap them out with a known working kit. If not sure how to go about this, I will explain in more detail.

Remove the Modules to inspect them and check for contamination in the DIMM slots. If a lot of dust is present, you can blow the slots out with compressed air from a canister and clean the DIMM terminals with Isopropyl Alcohol 95%. Only do this with power to the PC switched off.

Your RAM Modules or DIMMs can be tested using Memtest86+ by booting from a USB stick. If not sure how to do this then more...

Hmm I'm not sure about the specs I'm looking at it but I don't know, it was working fine for years so I'm wondering what could've happened. I always had this notification telling me to backup my hard drive , is that related to this?

Whilst the modules are out, check for the P/N on the side and report that. Also try to identify the model of MB.
