I've been having issues with my PC's RAM lately. Every few months, the DRAM light on my motherboard stays on for about 40 to 60 seconds, then my monitor says 'no signal'. After a short while, it boots up like normal again. I read online that BIOS updates or changes to components can cause this, but I haven't made any changes myself. I'm considering taking it to a local store for a checkup. Does anyone have any insights on what might be going on?

By the way, you're using an MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi, right? It might help to check if there's a firmware update available too, as updates can sometimes fix underlying issues.
It sounds like there could be a problem with the RAM slots. A good first step is to clean the slots and reseat the RAM sticks. It might also be an issue with the RAM itself or potentially even the CPU. Since this is only happening every few months, it could be tough to diagnose right away. I recommend running a memory test to see if any errors come up.
Using that number-letter display on your motherboard could definitely help identify the problem. It might show you error codes that can point you in the right direction for troubleshooting. Let us know what it says!
