Hey everyone! I've been having a tough time with my PC lately. It has a DRAM error light flashing on the motherboard and I'm getting no display on the screen. Here's what happened: I originally had a WD SATA drive, but I just installed a Predator GM7000 M.2 and tried to set up Windows on that drive. I messed up the install a couple of times because it still wanted to boot from the SATA drive, so I finally removed the SATA drive altogether and installed Windows onto the M.2 from a USB stick. Everything seemed fine until today when I was installing drivers. Suddenly, my PC restarted and now the fans are running at full blast, the DRAM light is on, and I can't get any display.
I've tried reseating my RAM, testing each stick in different slots, removed the motherboard battery to let it discharge, reseated the GPU and its connections, and checked all wire connections. The computer was working perfectly just before this happened. Really hoping someone can help me out! Thanks!
Here are my specs: Gygabite B650 Eagle AX, Ryzen 5 7600x, 2x16GB Vengeance DDR5, MSI GeForce RTX 2060, Thermaltake 650W Gold+ PSU, Predator 2TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD.

You might want to try using Memtest86 to check your memory for errors. It could help in identifying if your RAM is causing the issue. Just keep in mind that since you can't even boot into Windows, you'll need to create a bootable USB if you haven't already.
Sounds frustrating! Have you tried clearing the BIOS settings? Sometimes that can help reset things. Make sure to check your memory sticks too and maybe try another one if you have a spare. It's important to reseat everything, including the power connections. I know it's a hassle, but it could make a difference.
