Do you have just one piece of memory? Or do you have two? The model number is for a single DIMM. An 8GB DIMM like yours should be used in the A1 or B1 slots.
If you have a video card in the board, then it will always try to use the video card as the video source.
The red LED for the A1 BIOS chip being on is normal, that just means you are using the main BIOS chip and not the backup BIOS.
Whenever you change things like using different memory slots or different video source, you should be clearing the UEFI/BIOS with the jumper on the board. Turn off the PSU and unplug it from AC power before you move the jumper.
Keep testing without the video card until you can get a signal to the monitor. Be sure your monitor is configured to automatically select the active input, or change it to the HDMI input specifically.

Seems to me that there is problém with memory or motherboard. I have tried all memory slots and nothing chaged. I am not sure if this memory is compatible with this board. bios_a1 LED is on (red light), cooling fans are moving including CPU and GPU fans, lights on Graphics cards are also on. All connectors checked. |
