I'm building my first PC, and when I powered it on for the first time, an orange light labeled DRAM appeared on the motherboard. This prevents any display from showing up. I'm wondering if my RAM might be incompatible or if I made a mistake during the build process.
Here's what I've used for parts:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D
- GPU: 5070TI
- RAM: Crucial 32GB 6000
- Motherboard: B650E-E

What have you tried so far? If you haven’t yet, reseating the RAM is a good move. Booting with just one DIMM in the A2 slot can help check if one of the sticks is bad. Also, make sure your motherboard is fully compatible with your RAM model.
It could be a RAM issue. Try booting the system with just one stick of RAM. Sometimes one of them can be faulty, so testing each stick separately can help pinpoint the problem. If you have multiple slots, you can also try different slots to rule out any slot issues.
