lol same thing happened to me check the manual for the recommended RAM slots. With two sitcks it's almost always A2 and B2, the second and fourth slots from the CPU. Slots one and two are a common mistake.
its 1 AM and my new build refuses to POST.
thats all the monitor shows, the DRAM LED on teh B550 board lights up and stays on. I waited five minutes and nothing changed... my old PC is already sold, so I have nothing else to test parts with... please tell me this is a cable problem, ive watched a few build videos to compare and I cant spot anything I did differently... im hoping its smth obvious that a fresh pair of eyes will catch immediately.
uhh did u wait a full 10 minutes on the first boot?
ok so the CPU support list says i need a newer BIOS than teh B550 board might have shipped with.
On a first boot with new DDR5 platforms, memory training can take several minutes with a black screen and the DRAM LED on :) Leave it alone for at least 10-15 minutes before assuming its dead.
@kernelsmith omg finally used BIOS Flashback with a USB stick and it booted right after, thx for explaining what that LED meant. owe u a beer 馃嵑
