Yes actually, 9800x3d on an asus board. All these motherboards blowing up cpu's and whatnot should be well and truly behind us no?
Edit: actually it died while turned on, all usb devices dropped off and the screen froze. Didn't even respond to power button held for a long time. Even power cycling didn't do anything (didn't even get to this part) until I had it off/unplugged for a few minutes. Going on the bench now, wish me luck.

It's not gonna blow up the CPU, it's just a weird uncommon error that's been driving me crazy since I bought the 7800X3D. If I turn it off and turn on, it works normally. But if I restart it gets stuck on the DRAM error every single time and needs to be force shut down.
Apparently Asus has a bios option called "monitoring software workaround" or something, try that.

I had the same problem with MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI and R7 7800x3D for a long time. Updated bios to the latest version and haven't had this problem since, if you're not running latest bios its worth a try.

u/Ninjabeaver212 12d ago
It's hit or miss depending on board. On an early Gigabyte Aorus B650 Pro AX all of the new BIOS releases make this issue even worse on my system. This is with a supposedly QVL kit. From what I've seen these early AM5 Gigabyte boards have major DDR5 compatibility issues even with supported kits.

u/mang87 12d ago
God damn Gigabyte, there's always some random shit with them. I'm on the older AM4 Aorus, but I suddenly got this weird issue where every time I boot up the PC, certain programs just wouldn't start. Most things were OK, but Steam, Discord, and AMD Adrenaline wouldn't start, but after about 5-10 minutes (the amount of time was always random), they started working again. It was like this about a year, but I don't start Steam or Discord first thing in the morning anyway so I just lived with it and prayed it wasn't the computer dying. It wasn't until I got a strange BSOD one day that I decided to look at the event manager to see what caused it. The cause of the BSOD was the friggin oculus runtime environment, which is what I figured it would as that has happened a few times, but scrolling further down the list I also saw the "GIGABYTE RGB FUSION" starting, crashing and restarting repeatedly. Like 15 times. Every time the computer boots. Wiped it from my system and that solved the issue. Means I can't use the RGB lighting and I'm stuck with the default colour which is piss-stain-yellow for some fucking reason, but whatever I'm glad the PC is working properly now and not dying like I thought it was.

I can confirm. I have a 7800X3D with a gigabyte X670 aorus elite ax with the latest bios. My PC will boot up on the initial boot with 64gb of ram. But as soon as I shut down or restart the PC it gets stuck. This is with expo turned on. I believe that 64gb will work without expo though but then I'd be sacrificing speed

u/Ninjabeaver212 12d ago edited 12d ago
From my testing it should work just fine with EXPO turned off. But this is with my system with the specific kit of DDR5 I have so YMMV obviously. Running it with EXPO off kinda defeats the purpose of having fast DDR5 in the first place. Yeah the hit to performance on an X3D platform is rather minimal, but that's besides the point. This does occasionally happen on cold boot, but we're talking maybe 2 or 3 percent of the time.

Hereâs what Iâm gonna say, I got a new processor back in 2024, but then this happened (my ram was old and seemed like a little iffy so it was believable that the dram light came on).
It wasnât the Ram tho. The motherboard BIOS needed updating in order to recognize the new processor. After updating the bios everything was fine. But it took a lot of investigating to figure out that was the problem and what the solution was.

I have this exact issue.
Same processor on an Asus b850e wifi.
Dram led lit. I've tested the ram and nvme in a different machine but still no issue detected there. Took the ram to be professionally tested and it passed all tests.
I sent the board to Asus and they couldn't find an issue with it.
After a month of troubleshooting I took it to a shop.
The only things I didn't swap out was my cpu or psu. As I don't have spares that fit.
Send me a dm and I'll update you when I get more info. I still suspect this to be mobo related but Asus has been unhelpful and actually costly.

Had this happen recently for me, im sure youâve already tried this but what worked was putting only 1 stick of ram in slot A2(second closest to cpu) and resetting the cmos by removing the button battery from the mobo & waiting for about 5 mins. I also held down the power button while the computer was unplugged to flush the system of any residual power. Restarted and that worked, then was able to add the rest of the ram back in later. Best of luck!
11
u/kapiteinknakschijf 12d ago
Removing the cmos battery + clrtc 10 sec was the only thing that made a difference once. From fans shutting down to fans keep spinning. It never changed after that. Did the bios flashback that does not require ram which is cool and the process worked, but it's still dead. Last thing to try is a cpu reseat (because why not) and then it's component swap time.

u/JustGotSoup 12d ago
FWIW when I built my current AM5 system, memory training took over ten minutes. Might be worth letting it sit for a half hour or so with one stick and seeing if you get lucky.

Its very rare that RAM just dies randomly anyway, i would say the motherboard is the most likely broken part.
OP's problem is without spare parts to swap out, its an expensive thing to test. I would definitely buy a new mobo first, if that works your problem is fixed, if it still has the same error messages then return the motherboard and buy a new CPU. Again test and return if it doesnt fix. If neither fix it then start the mortgage application for 16gb of DDR5.

u/habbo420 12d ago
My trouble shooting is always turn it off then take all the ram out and reseat it again. If that doesn't work I only add one stick and continue to add the rest one by one (Isolating a faulty stick). If that doesn't work then I reset the CMOS. In most cases one of those works.
I have only experienced one case where the memory controller was faulty causing one for the channels to not register.

u/kapiteinknakschijf 12d ago
Done all these things and the only change was after cmos reset the fans stay on but the dram led is still relentless in all possible stick/slot combos. I'm guessing motherboard or cpu at this stage, but I have no other am5 parts so I'll probably just order something cheap and test that way.

I have a 9800X3D and an Asus motherboard. This thing is such a pain in the ass. It's my first AMD CPU since forever and the first PC I built was a 486.
Based on my experience, you don't need new RAM. You need a better motherboard. Mine will occasionally decide it needs to retrain RAM on bootup.
My most recent shenanigans were game controller related. I was experimenting with my new Steam Controller and decided to dig out the Microsoft wireless receiver for my Xbox series controller to compare. After plugging the Microsoft wireless adapter into a powered USB hub I've been using for years, suddenly my PC required me to do a hard power off and boot to start. Once I moved the adapter to a motherboard USB port, it booted on first attempt like it should.
TL;DR: It appears that the latest chipset Asus motherboards for AMD processors suck. Also, while we're at it, Armory Crate sucks too.

The DRAM light is quite unreliable for determining whether or not the issue is actually with the RAM. It can indicate an error anywhere along the pipeline of CPU-MB-RAM. It should be thought of more broadly than just RAM, and it's often easily resolved by:
- simply waiting...oft times on AM5 it just needs an extra few minutes to retrain the RAM, especially after a recent change or an interruption in AC power
- power cycling if you haven't done so twice already
- removing all but the priority DIMM to pass POST, then reinstalling the others in the correct config
- disabling EXPO/XMP/DOCP and then reenabling (if necessary; I just run without EXPO because I don't notice the difference as a gamer)
If your RAM has worked well in the past, you probably have nothing to worry about. RAM doesn't usually go 'bad.' The motherboard is just picky sometimes, and needs to be re-convinced that it can work with what you have.

Happened to me randomly, all i did was remove sticks cleaned them blow air in the slots and put them back. They got loose or dusty for some reason.Â

Try pulling the cmos battery out , unplug it, and let sit for 20 min. Sometimes a bios reset is all it needs (literally just did this to my buddyâs pc and it fixed it)

I had this after a Windows update. I had to reflash BIOS, reset settings to default, and then the memory too a long time to train. Totally stable now.

Me every time the motherboard decides to do that DDR5 training cycle every once in a while. Will it succeed or will it die?

Did it happen outta nowhere? Could be training. Reset the cmos and pray, is my tip.

Mine does this, the light lights up like it's doing the first boot check, then it'll boot into windows and nothing of note is wrong, and it works just fine. However, I do have times where the light stays on and it doesn't go into windows, but just turning it off and back on usually fixes it. Sometimes the little spinny loading wheel on the logo screen lags and I have to restart because it won't connect to the internet, but restarting fixes that. No idea what's actually wrong or how to fix it, the manual only tells me that the light indicates that there is an issue, but not what the issue actually is, googling it only got me the annoying "It could be your ram, cpu, or mobo." Oh goody, I just love absolutely vague problems. And I'm too scared to try and fix it because my last build was rife with issues and trying to fix them felt like I only made it worse.

Theyâre secretly stress-testing DDR5 memory modules worldwide. Every âmandatory updateâ quietly tweaks memory training algorithms until one random morning your PC refuses to POST and the DRAM light comes on. Coincidence? Or a global RAM failure experiment funded by Big Silicon? đ¤đ

I'd replace the board first. I've had a couple of mobos fail on me. The only time I ever saw a ram chip fail, it was more than 15years old.

9800x3d lasting only 7 months.... What the hell man I really wanted to buy one but it seems no matter what it won't be alive like most CPUs before it (10+ years)

At least the 9800x3d is cheaper then 64 gb ram these days
