I think I have the same issue, I looked at the 4-pin, 3-wire PC speaker pinout from wikipedia. I wonder, can I just use a multimeter instead of a speaker to test if it's a cpu issue or a motherboard issue?
SO glad I came across this video! For me, the red light always turns on during startup however sometimes it stays on, sometimes it does not.. but my ram is always accounted for I have 4x DDR5 sticks and never run into any issues while gaming (even if the light stays on)
Summary of things you can try based on what worked for other people: - try multiple ram sticks on every slot to pinpoint which slot doesn't work - red led does not mean it's over. Let it sit for a couple minutes for every combination you try (worked for me in about 30 seconds). Next problem you should expect is vga led if you removed the gpu - try removing the cpu fan, even the cpu power to confirm it will turn on the cpu led instead of dram led - if you got your product through amazon you have a couple weeks to refund. ask a nice friend to lend his cpu for a day and try that out, or you could buy a speaker, and still have time to send the cpu back if it ends up being the cpu. You could also deal with a local hw shop to let you try an old cpu they have lying around
I have the same issue with the red DRAM light on my B650. Brand new build, but booting just does nothing most of the time and leaves me with just that same DRAM light on. Maybe 1/10 times it will actually boot to windows. I've tried RAM in different slots, just one. Tired disabling XMP, enabling memory... But now, after watching this, it's making me think it's the processor... Which is a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
@@juans9515 Yeah dude. Faulty/dead RAM. So there was a slim sector of the RAM that actually worked, hence why it started 1 times out of 10. The other times it would hit a dead spot on the RAM and just not boot. New RAM now and zero issues since.
@@michaelbliss8563I started building on my pc and when I first booted it up it was orange light on dram so I took out one stick and it eventually worked there was a defective ram and the other worked.
The "Wait 5 minutes" for ram to train, reminded me that these new boards are different (or so I've read offhand a few times), and initial boot sometimes needs loads of time to post... Lo and behold, I stuck both sticks in again, then left it for 2 minutes, and it posted. lol. Here I was thinking it should post within 5 secs no matter what (like older boards). So I kept trying to re-seat the ram to get that dram light to switch off, so it would post. Anyway, it's working now. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Same. I have tried three motherboards from two different companies. Two 7800-X3D CPUs. Two power supplies. Two sets of power supply cables. Two monitors. Two video cards. Two video cables. Flashed the BIOS. Tried two memory sticks. One memory stick. Nothing.
Currently having this issue with the Aorys b650 elite ax and the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. When the pc starts the cpu light flashes red then switches to a solid DRAM light. At this point I’m not sure what to do other than take the parts back and replace them with new ones.

Where would you go next in that case?
It is supposed to go trough all the lights, first cpu then dram then gpu then boot, it may do the process multiple times. I've hear of ppl who their cpu/dram lights are on but they boot with out a problem. Yes it should go off once your pc boots up
I have an similar issue, i bought 2 more 32gb of ram, same as my old ram but after installing the ram it doesn't want to boot up and the cpu light is on red and ram light on yellow, ive swapped around the ram multiple times and i still have the same issue, ive also blown off any possible dust before installing the new ram but still stuck on the issue. All the rgb lights are running on the ram and all the cables are connected propperly same with ram but it still doesn't boot up at all. (Also when i remove the new ram and have my old ram like before the pc boots up and works completely fine, what do i do?)
@@rickstechrepairs could be, the new ram is a bit slower on the clock rate than the old ones but ive confirmed both new and old ram works when they're by themselves, like 2 at the time. I also updated the drivers/bios and chipset of my mobo in hopes of it fixing the issue but it didn't, it is an am5 mobo with ddr5 ram slots so it feels wierd if that was the issue

Trying to install a 9900x in this board and getting both dram and CPU red light, I updated the BIOS nothing changes. I do not have access to a different CPU any idea how I can get it to post?
here's my story: my msi mag x670e suddenly did not boot with fans spinning. the pc was working for 1 month straight no problem. I have red cpu and yellow dram on ez debug. I gave the pc to technician and he did not resolve any issue. he said its probably motherboard since he claimed he tested all components. he said cpu was good on other pc. Ok so i get the pc back from him as he took too long to resolve the issue. I had him to put away heatsink so i can be sure my cpu is still there. I cleaned the paste and reattached the heatsink at home.... then it boots normally. I was so happy it booted normally 6 times. then at 7th attempt im back at red yellow... no booting possible again.

Great video🎉 Where do you got the post speaker because I want to buy one My Issue is that I get random blackscreens and when the pc has to restart it works fine. But when I want to restart it on my own it shows me the dram light and doesnt post. I wonder if its the ram, the memory controller or the mainboard itself.

Yes, I have the same problem, the computer will turn on only by rebooting and I also have teamgroup 6000 and 7800x3d. Were you able to solve this problem somehow? 😕
probably long fixed the situation but i had a red signal like this and the suspected "fault" was the board and to "clear" the signal (statement was its a bug in "bios") was to hold the power button turn off the pc(mobo) holding the power button still flip the psu switch off and on and that sorted the red light issue out on z690a boards. I've now run into another situation this video has not necessarily solved as of yet(got to get little speaker). Doubt the board will post with my 12 year old cpu but if i have to try i guess i will...

Does the fact that the speaker doesn’t engage mean it’s definitely the cpu, or could it still be the mobo or psu? I’m having this problem, I had some spare ram to try and that didn’t fix the problem.

@tymoving9106 no I haven't.
It is supposed to go trough all the lights, first cpu then dram then gpu then boot, it may do the process multiple times. I've hear of ppl who their cpu/dram lights are on but they boot with out a problem.
Yes it should go off once your pc boots up
@@iTzJOHnNyY I bought a 7900x3d but no gpu yet.
Even without gpu is the PC still able to boot?
I am stuck on white light vga
@xellr yes, you should stil be able to boot cause that cpu also has a igpu. U gotta connect the hdmi or DP onto the motherboard.
I have an similar issue, i bought 2 more 32gb of ram, same as my old ram but after installing the ram it doesn't want to boot up and the cpu light is on red and ram light on yellow, ive swapped around the ram multiple times and i still have the same issue, ive also blown off any possible dust before installing the new ram but still stuck on the issue. All the rgb lights are running on the ram and all the cables are connected propperly same with ram but it still doesn't boot up at all.
(Also when i remove the new ram and have my old ram like before the pc boots up and works completely fine, what do i do?)
seems like your computer either doesnt like the brand and speed of the new ram
@@rickstechrepairs could be, the new ram is a bit slower on the clock rate than the old ones but ive confirmed both new and old ram works when they're by themselves, like 2 at the time.
I also updated the drivers/bios and chipset of my mobo in hopes of it fixing the issue but it didn't, it is an am5 mobo with ddr5 ram slots so it feels wierd if that was the issue
My HD LED blinks amber, does anyone know what that means? my computer still works with no complications.
HD Led Blinking, means the computer is reading/writting to your SSD or Hard Drive
@@rickstechrepairs Okay, thank you!
Same issue for me, new CPU and motherboard, same everything else (PSU, ram)
Thought it was the motherboard, got a new one still not working. New CPU comes in next week so hopefully it works.
This is the most frustrating thing ive ever experienced building my own/family PCs for 15 years.

@@brandonlong7251you took the whole thing apart?and reset the cmos then turned it on then put ram in then reset cmos then turned it on then put gpu in then reset cmos then turned it on and it worked am I correct in that logic?

@@lukablyat you got it right, basically just installed minimum amount of things (CPU and RAM only) and then added one part at a time, resetting the CMOS everytime. GPU, SSD, etc.
What ended up fixing it was a new CPU though.

so motherboard it might take some time to boot.
What motherboard do you have?
@ pro b659m-a wifi
here's my story: my msi mag x670e suddenly did not boot with fans spinning. the pc was working for 1 month straight no problem. I have red cpu and yellow dram on ez debug. I gave the pc to technician and he did not resolve any issue. he said its probably motherboard since he claimed he tested all components. he said cpu was good on other pc.
Ok so i get the pc back from him as he took too long to resolve the issue. I had him to put away heatsink so i can be sure my cpu is still there. I cleaned the paste and reattached the heatsink at home.... then it boots normally. I was so happy it booted normally 6 times. then at 7th attempt im back at red yellow... no booting possible again.
Ive got the issue of the ram slots, the both sticks work fine but the asus board doesnt like the ram in the second and fourth slot, fourth slot only, tried slot 1 and 3 and no joy, i know there is a fix but my memory is not great 😅
not sure on that sorry

@@TheDrDread no/
probably long fixed the situation but i had a red signal like this and the suspected "fault" was the board and to "clear" the signal (statement was its a bug in "bios") was to hold the power button turn off the pc(mobo) holding the power button still flip the psu switch off and on and that sorted the red light issue out on z690a boards. I've now run into another situation this video has not necessarily solved as of yet(got to get little speaker).
