Hi, looking for some sense checks on what I've done. I build a PC for a friend around 6 months ago (Ryzen 5 3600, MSI Mortar B450M, 2 x 8GB Teamgroup Vulcan T-Force 3200Mhz C16 with a RX590 vga card).
About a week ago whilst playing Overwatch machine crashed with BSOD, and then would not POST.
I've had a look at it today and it stop on the memory check according to the debug LED. I have then done the following:
Reset BIOS (removed CMOS battery for 20 mins) - No change
Re-seated RAM and power cables - No change
Pulled machine down to minimum spec (1 DIMM, no vga card, no SSD) - Machine passes POST and boots
Same test again with other memory DIMM, will not post
Same test with both memory DIMM's, will not post
Swapped DIMMs over, will not POST
Connected everything together with the "good" DIMM, passes POST and boots
Installed known good 2 x DDR4 DIMMs from my own machine, passes POST and boots
It boots every time with the "good" DIMM and fails to boot every time with the "bad" DIMM installed (whether on it's own or installed as a pair).
I'm thinking we have a failed DIMM. Would you agree ?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
