Hi all
Sorry but I won't be joining you for golf tomorrow, due to my PC not working
And the game is on steam

Ahh no, what's happened with your PC mate?
Is it cheap enough on Pico store? Got to be worth a double dip.
Not going to buy anything for the pico, I'm most likely getting a quest 3
In the process of upgradeing and I got a ram fault

Fair enough, annoying that you've had issues upgrading. Puts me off building a rig. What you upgrading to?
Its either faulty memory or faulty motherboard
I went AM5 with ddr5

Can't you use a single stick? If neither stick works in any slot then it might point to a certain issue?

Seems odd that both sticks and all slots aren't working. My thought would be a motherboard bios/compatibility issue?
I should be around this evening.
Buy it on the Pico store, play tonight, then refund it before the two hours are gone. The games usually last around 90 minutes.
You know that DDR 5 memory has to be "trained" It can take ten minutes when you first install it.
What motherboard and memory did you get? The exact make and model of motherboard please?
I've never heard of this
That should be in the manual
I've got
Asus rog strix x670E-F gaining WiFi
Corsair vengeance ddr5 expo, 6000 , 32gb dual kit
This is why I always test the components outside the case before fitting inside the case.
Saved me a lot of hassle the other day upgrading my daughter's PC as it turned out the supplied thermal paste with the cooler was terrible, and was causing 95 degree temps under stress test.
Removed the cooler, cleaned and repasted the CPU with Thermal Grizzly and refitted the cooler and now it's 82 degrees max, which is ok for a cheap air cooler.
Darn sight easier removing, repasting and refitting a cooler outside the case!
I also ran a memtest before fitting the MB.
Saves so much hassle to check for failed components before starting the build proper.

That's very true
It's actually a good idea to have a copy of Walkabout on your Pico as you can then use that for local MP. I had to buy a second copy of Walkabout as I had three headsets and you can only game share on Meta between 2. Good thing Meta now allows you to have multiple accounts.
Sorry, forgot to ask, can you tell me exactly what is happening? Is it just not booting or is it beeping when you try to start? Can you get into the bios on startup? Does it display anything?
Yeah, DDR5 memory sometimes has to be trained. It can take ten minutes or sometimes more before the computer boots up the first time. And if you make a change, it has to be retrained. When you have it "trained" it still needs partial retraining each time you boot up. There is a way to turn this off, but, it's not recommended.
So if your computer seems to be doing nothing when you start it, it might just be training the memory. If you interrupt it before it's finished it will start from the beginning again next time.
I get an LED lit up on the DRAM fault
Does not get as far as the bios unfortunately

Try downloading the latest Bios from Asus and use the Bios flashback button to update the bios. Instructions here.
