Dear all,
Today, I mounted the 9800x3D onto my new and unused AsRock-Mainboard. RAM (2x 32 GB Kingston Fury DDR5-6000) is set to bank 2 & 4. Unfortunately, I do not get a boot. POST LED show red (CPU) and yellow (RAM). I am not even able to enter BIOS to check BIOS version as do not get any picture. RGB, fans, water pump ... everything works. I also tried to do a CMOS clear but it didn't work out. What else can I do to check what's broken? |

By bank 2 and 4 I am assuming slots A2 and B2 (should be labeled on the board).
If so, that is correct. Make sure you have the correct 8pin CPU power connected, typically, when there are 2 sockets on the board I connect it to CPU power 1. Your BIOS version should be printed on a small white sticker on your BIOS ROM chip on the motherboard itself though it should be at least version 3.06 anyway given there is no earlier version available so that shouldn't be the issue. Once you have gone over all the power connections and made sure your RAM is properly seated in it's slots you can try powering on the system again and let it remain on for 5 mins, don't restart or reset, just let it run. If you don't POST still then try removing the RAM from slot B2 and test with a single stick in A2. If that fails try the other stick in the same slot. Post back here with your results. Good luck |

Thanks for your feedback, Xalter.
I can confirm: CPU-Power ist connected to no. 1 (left connector). Basically, RAM was on bank 2 & 4 (= A2 & B2). POST-LED's are still present. Moreover, I tried your method by switching the RAM to A2 (single) but with no effect on both sticks. I did everything according to manual. I was wondering if the RAM is broken as it's RGB's aren't glowing any more? Regarding POST-LED: when both LED's are active, is their an issue with CPU and RAM or just one of them? Maybe I should try another pair of RAM, tomorrow? I do not think, the mainboard is broken, yet. I guess the RAM doesn't work. |

Make sure the RAM is all the way into the slot, new slots can be very stiff.
Both RAM and CPU lights being lit usually means an issue with either RAM or CPU. Most often that the CPU isn't supported on the BIOS version installed but I don't think that is the issue in your case. The RAM not initializing is preventing the POST process from completing the CPU tests most likely. If the RAM light is yellow not red then I would guess it is passing some of the initial tests and failing part way through the RAM POST tests. If after ensuring the RAM is fully seated you still have the issue then you should try another kit of RAM to rule that out. It is also possible you got a bad CPU but that is far less likely than faulty RAM. |

Hmmm, ok.
I double-checked the RAM and it fits perfect into the slot. You can hear the "click". Fits nice and snug. If you don't have another ride, I will have to replace the RAM. |

I'm in the same situation. Same specs. G.Skill RAM seems not to work. I'm ordering some Corsair, hopefully it will work.

If you were able to solve your problem with the new RAM kit?
