Hi guys,
I recently had a problem with my old motherboard, the ASUS P7P55D-E DELUXE, with regards to the DRAM LED being lit continuously.
Before that everything was running fine, then I upgraded to some new ram, G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600 and this occured. I tried everything possible, testing single modules in A1 and B1 slots and so on and clearing bios etc, but it still wouldn't boot, no display on monitor. So i tested my old ram but the same thing happens, no boot or display, DRAM led lights up continulousy.
I had a diagnostic test from the local computer techs and they said it was my motherboard and that the ram sockets were dead. Being a 1156 socket board and running the i7 860, it was tough to find a motherboard with the same socket.
So, i bought the rampage iv formula and i7 3820 and kept the same g.skill ripjaws x 1600 ram. I put everything together but the same problem persists...?
Would be great if you guys could help me
Just an idea of what i think the problem might be: i had the tech guys test everything, they said that the rams were fine, both the old ones and the new ones and my cpu was fine (the i7 860) and it was my motherboard that was malfunctioning. however, i dont think that they checked my psu. i also read somewhere that the seasonic m12 700w doesnt like the p7p55d motherboard.
Could it be the powersupply unit?
THANKS GUYS!
