Okay, I’ll give that a try.

[PeterOz]

I do not think it has a speaker?
Do you here any beeps

[Mr_Rosy]

The light is still showing, even though I think I got it in the correct placement.

[Mr_Rosy]

I do not hear any beeps.

[PeterOz]

Power off
test with other stick

[PeterOz]

What cooling are you using on the CPU

[Mr_Rosy]

I am using a Corsair Elite h100i liquid CPU cooler, and I am currently working on repeating the process with the other stick.

[PeterOz]

I am currently working on repeating the process with the other stick.

Ok I will wait for you

[Mr_Rosy]

It still shows the light unfortunately.

[PeterOz]

Ok we will try a cmos reset.
Leave ram in.
Power off
Remove power cord from computer.
Reset cmos

I have just done that, sorry for the delay. I used only one RAM and held the CLR switch down for about 8 seconds, but upon replugging and powering on, the light is still there.

Your cpu needs BIOS version F9.
Because it won’t boot it is impossible to say if it has version F9 or not.
It is booting past the cpu so I assume that the bios version is good.
Do you have any friends or relos work etc that you could borrow a stick of ram to test.

is your ram one of these.
If not please give the Module P/N

If you cannot borrow a stick of ram you have only a couple options.

1. Update the BIOS
2. RMA Ram
3. RMA Motherboard.
4. RMA Motherboard and ram.

I would try a bios update if I was building this rig.
With Qflash Plus it is NORMALLY fool proof.
You would need a small version 2 usb stick - Black end.
You format the usb stick to FAT32
Download the file and rename.
Stick it into the correct usb port. It should be labelled on the back of the board.
DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER. You then press the Qflash plus button
This video gives you an idea.
You must make sure you have the correct Qflash port. Do not rely on the video to show the port
They always change.

There is always a risk with flashing a bios.
However, Gigabyte has taken out most of the risk with Qflash plus.
If in doubt about any of this ASK

If this is your MB it clearly shows the BIOS update port.
