I'm having trouble with my PC since the DRAM light has turned on and I'm getting no video output. I've already tried troubleshooting by using just one memory module, swapping their slots, removing the motherboard battery, and cleaning the memory. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing the issue?

A 1000W PSU should be more than enough for most builds, but make sure it’s functioning properly. Sometimes, issues can stem from a defective motherboard or an improperly seated CPU. If possible, reseat the CPU and check the connections on the motherboard. It's a bit of a hassle, but it might solve the DRAM light issue.
Those DRAM diagnostic lights can be a bit misleading. If your DRAM light is on, it might not actually be a RAM issue. Sometimes, it could be the power supply not delivering enough power to the CPU, which controls the RAM. If the CPU is having issues, like being defective or poorly seated, that can also trigger the DRAM light. Have you checked if your CPU is properly connected? Also, what were you doing when this problem started? Any sudden freezes or crashes?
Yeah, I was playing CS2 and my PC froze; I had to turn it off manually. Since then, I haven’t gotten any video output.
