#

Did you make sure to completely uninstall iCue?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

I'm pretty sure. If I didn't completely unistall it, wouldn't it fully unistall with a system reset

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

Look up uninstall in windows search, then select the first thing that comes up

#

Go through that and see if it shows iCue

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

No it doesn't

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

If you didn't get it fully ininstalled, it will show on there. If it does, right click on it and click uninstall

#

Ok, its fully uninstalled

#

Does the ram show up in Armory Crate?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:16 PM

#

Yes I'm pretty sure

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:16 PM

#

See if it changes the lights when you change the light mode in there

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

It doesn't

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

It may be forced iCue

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

Should I reinstall icue and then set the settings to default?

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

I have a few corsair perhipherals, and they only allow custumization via iCue

#

Yeah, go ahead and reinstall iCue

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:19 PM

#

Ok I'll tell you when its done my internet isn't the fastest

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:19 PM

#

Its fine

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:20 PM

#

Oh BTW when icue installed for the first time, it asked me to restart it to use it and my pc wouldn't boot passed the mobo companies logo

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

Hmm

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

The loading icon wasn't even there

#

This is an image I found, it wouldn't go passed this

#

I couldn't get into bios either

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

Have you updated your drivers lately?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

Yes, I actually did a complete windows wipe about 4 days ago

#

I installed all the drivers I needed

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

Ok

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

I think i need to update my bios

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

Was about to suggest that

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

But im not exactly sure how to do it

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

If you have the manual for the motherboard, it should say

#

https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z690-a-gaming-wifi-d4-model/helpdesk_bios/

ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 | ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 |...

ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI Intel LGA 1700 ATX motherboard, OptiMem III, PCIe 5.0, 16+1 power stages, WiFi 6, Intel® 2.5 Gb Ethernet, four M.2 slots, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB Type-C®, SATA and Aura Sync

#

Here is the download section

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

Almost done

#

It's opened

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

k

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:33 PM

#

It said icue has stopped receiving data FROM DRAM, please restart

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

Fun

#

See if it does what it did again

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

Very

#

All my ram lighting just turned off

#

I'm fully unistalling it

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

k

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

I'm on the latest bios

#

Great now my ram won't even turn on

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

great

#

do you have another system you can test the ram in to make sure its not faulty?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

No

#

Wouldn't the ram light come on?

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

Im an idiot

#

Not always

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

Can some of the icue files still be in he windows system files

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

Ram can be faulty, but not faulty enough to cause the ram light to come on and the system not to post

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

tribal venture Can some of the icue files still be in he windows system files

Most likely

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

Mm yes there's 3 I'll delete them and restart

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

k

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

Yes that didn't do anything

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

What ram is it? Dominator?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

Vengeance

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

Ah

#

According to the corsair website, its Armory crate thats causing it

#

Try uninstalling that and try it

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:53 PM

#

Alright

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:54 PM

#

If its not that, update the ram's firmware via iCue

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:54 PM

#

I tried selecting that it said its up to date

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

Ok

#

Try uninstalling Armory crate

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:56 PM

#

Should I restart?

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

yeah

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

Nothing happened

tender plume Jan 18, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

Did you uninstall Armory crate?

tribal venture Jan 18, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

Yes

#

I download another rgb software just this moment, signal rgb and it says AacKingstonDramHal_x64.exe is running

tender plume Jan 19, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

But still no lights?

#

@tribal venture

tribal venture Jan 19, 2023, 12:10 AM

#

No the lights are working

tender plume Jan 19, 2023, 12:10 AM

#
