Hi, I am dealing with a persistent no-POST issue on a new Z890 build.
Motherboard: ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K (Arrow Lake) RAM Tested: Patriot Viper, Patriot Elite kits and KLEVV FIT V 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL28 (Model: KD5AGU880-60B280L) The system will not POST. Its hanging indefinitely on a solid orange DRAM diagnostic light. Every 10 to 15 seconds, the red CPU light flashes for a fraction of a second. Troubleshooting Already Performed: Flashed the latest global BIOS. Tested single RAM sticks in all four individual memory slots. Cleared the CMOS. |

Hi Smokey. A few things to check:
1. Make sure your RAM is fully seated in the slot/s, a new board's slots can be quite a tight fit and if the RAM is not all the way seated it won't detect correctly. 2. Try a single stick in slot A2 and leave the system on for 10 - 15 minutes. Sometimes RAM training can take a very long time on the first POST. It should be fast after the first training has been completed. 3. Remove the CPU and check for bent pins in the socket and check for any debris, dirt or grime on the CPU itself. When you reinstall it make sure your CPU cooler pressure isn't too high. The cooler should be "snug" but not tight. Some of the CPUs critical memory related pins are on the outer edge of the CPU so if their is enough pressure to warp the CPU substrate (green PCB) these will not make proper contact. 4. Follow these steps to perform a complete CMOS reset. 10 mins should be enough time to leave the system without battery and power. Let me know how it goes. |

Left a single stick of RAM in each slot for a full hour.
Completely removed PSU power and left the CMOS battery out for 14 hours. The motherboard pins are absolutely pristine, nothing is bent. Could this be the issue related to memory density£ |
