AMD 7950X with MSI x670 Pro DRAM issues on reboots

sentient_Ape

I built my PC a while ago, and for the last few months, I've been facing an issue where my PC won't boot whenever I restart it and gets stuck with the DRAM light on. I've tried different RAM slots and using just one stick, but the same issue persists. I even updated the BIOS, but the issue remains. I have to force shutdown and turn on my PC whenever it gets stuck with the DRAM light on. Everything else works fine; there are no problems during shutdowns or normal operations. It's just the restarts or reboots from the BIOS that are causing this issue. I've read some forums where people with similar issues say that the memory controller on the CPU could be the problem, while others say it's the motherboard. I'm looking for any advice regarding this. Thank you

Hello! I am very sorry to hear about the issues you are having! Have you tried performing a CMOS reset? If not I recommend doing so! From the information I see here on your account it appears that the parts were purchased back in 2022 so you may want to bring this into the store for a diagnostic to determine what exactly is going on. Diagnostics are 39.99 and we do accept walks ins. Most of these parts will have a 3 year warranty alongside them so you can also reach out to the manufacturer as well to make a claim!
