MoBo red LED lights on boot.

[VirtualYeti]

Hi there,

I've recently been trying to diagnose why my games seem to be crashing all of a sudden. My CPU and GPU temps and usages all seem fine.

I've gone into the bios and turned the CPU 'Game Boost' off (MSI TomaHawk B550) because I recently turned it on and figured this might be the cause of the issues.

However in rebooting I noticed that the red LEDs flash for 'VRAM' and 'Boot' on the motherboard, is it normal for them to flash when turning on or is it a sign of something more? I know they stay lit for other errors but couldn't find much online about them flashing on boot.

It's also worth noting that my PSU is rather old and I suspect I'm in need of a replacement in the near future (Not sure if this helps!).

Thanks in advance!

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Motherboard: B550 Tomahawk Mag
Operating System: Windows 11
RAM: 32 GB (Corsair Vengence)

Have you tried the RAM modules one at a time, maybe a faulty stick

Try typing "Windows Memory Diagnostic" into your start menu and running the inbuilt memtest to see if it shows anything up.

I would check for updates for drivers or revert to previous drivers for gpu. Also lower gpu settings vram/resolution/framerate etc. in game and see if crashes occur.
