| New build, Z790 Lightning Wifi, everything is working great, but restarting from Windows fails to post. No logo. I get a single red light. I have to power off and on and it boots again just fine. Any ideas? |

Thanks for the reply. It was DRAM. I took one stick out and it restarted properly, very quickly. Put the stick back in and it's still fine. I guess it wasn't fully seated even though the latches were closed. Let's hope that was it! |

Yea let's hope it was that, ddr5 is very sensitive that way. If it does return without a reason, I'd probably look at the memory optimization and training options. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/pxh0an" rel="nofollow">
