#PC cpu light and dram light is red when powered on and then restarts after a few seconds

Ofc, bc the cpu and ram light are both on
What are your specs?
Ram and motherboard compatible?
Oh
What happened to stop it
Did you reinstall windows?
What psu do you have
most common issue I see is that the RAM is not fully seated in the DIMM slots
push your RAM in slightly harder than you think is enough
Usually there are 2 clicks
uninstall and reinstall everything
easiest to hardest
start with unplugging and replugging stuff
then reinstall CPU if still not working
Make sure the cooler is installed correctly
if you have other parts lying around after all that, try them see if they work
Uneven mounting can cause issues
So it’s booted before right? How long was it up
So you haven’t even touched windows yet huh
Guessing you noticed the temps were sky high
So you went to adjust the cpu fan
So it didn’t shut down on it own
U panic shut it down I assume
^ not a issue just wondering
Not sure if you have done it yet but I would do a cmos reset
Should a visible battery if not it’s probably under the gpu
It’s usually just a 15 second thing
Some people say a minute
Never had a issue with just a few seconds though
Have you tried a boot then switch with the ram
Till all 4 slots have been tried
And all ram
Let’s try
All ram the same way
The board might have messed up if they doesn’t work
Yup definitely
That’s usually my first high probability
Not sure why it did if it did though
How is your cpu connector looking if you can show us
Like this
How about the psu end
I mean the side that goes to the psu
Unless it’s non modular
This
Well we should be doing this when you are in front of the equipment
I’ve never seen a cpu just die like that
That’s why I usually just go with the motherboard since it’s pretty frequent
But we will see when you are home if something else is at play
Parts will always look fine
I’m about 94% positive it’s not
your pc wont work without ram
