So I can't boot my new computer. The DRAM led is glowing orange and nothing seems to work. Either it's a faulty motherboard or there's some fix I haven't tried yet. This is what I've tried so far:

Specs:
I7-8700k
ASUS Z370-H
GTX 1080 Strix
Corsair Vengance 2x8gb DDR4
EVGA 850w G2
Noctua NH-D15 cooler


  • * Checking that no pins are bent, found some dust so I removed it with compressed air, still DRAM
    * Unplugging other components (SSD, GPU, HDD)
    * Removed all PSU wires and put them in again
    * Cleared CMOS (Both with shorting the 2 pins and I've tried removing and putting back the battery it self)
    * Tried Different ram slots, B1 & B2, Tried just using one ram stick. Not sure if I've tried every combination though.
    * Tried the ram in another computer, worked.
    * Tried different ram in the new computer, didn't work.
    * Tried loosening the CPU heatsink, didn't work.

All help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
