Fresh build.
Breadboarded the motherboard with only the CPU 8 pin and 24 pin power connected.
I also have the Kracken x61 installed on the CPU.

After going through all of the steps on the self help thread I have concluded I need help!

I fire up the computer without any RAM connected and I get the Yellow DRAM LED light on the motherboard.
I have tried only one RAM stick in each of the ports, but every time I do this, the LED instead changed to green upon booting up the motherboard. I have had the GPU and case fans attached and working.

I have not had the computer post or attempt to get to the bios.

Could it be the RAM that is bad, or could it be the motherboard?

Please Help!

I swapped to a different board. Went to the ASRock Z270 K6. Will be here tomorrow along with a new set of RAM sticks
