i’ve tried swapping sticks, pulled out an older set of ram, tried all the slots, unplugging all peripherals, removing drives, removing gpu, taking out cpu and putting back in. always getting stuck at same part.
bluh, just why

now this morning, my main monitor was blacking out every few seconds. i think something must have bugged out with virtual desktop (it changes my main monitors resolution when connecting and it looked the same), so i reboot. and now i can’t get it to post and the yellow dram led is on.

like, my quest became a flashing rainbow screen and played high pitch static, then shut off forever it seems. tried holding power button, power and volume, etc: nothing.
in part of debugging, i plugged it into my pc to see if it would be recognized at all, it didn’t and i gave up for the night.
