So are you able to restart your PC and boot into Windows?

Yes, booted. I reinstalled Witcher and it seems to be working now. I use the GOG Galaxy client. The RGB for the RAM isn't still working.

Try turning off the PC, turn off PSU, remove power cable, remove the RAM sticks and plug them back in

You plugged out the RAM and plugged it back in? In that case make sure you plugged them in the correct way and that it correctly locked

Yes, I heard the click when reseating the RAMs. The 1st light is yellow next to it. No beep when it tries to boot. Any ideas?

I doint know if you have other threads, but when did you get it and what have you done with the machine since getting it?
Windows updates, iCue, Armory Crate etc, chipset should be up to date but doesnt hurt to check and also AMD GPU drivers?

The yellow light indicates an issue with the RAM sticks - double check that you have put them back in the same slots they were originally in.

Since you've done it once already, I would take them out and reinstall them again and reboot.

If that doesn't get you back into Windows, the next step for me would be clear the CMOS memory and try again, however this will reset your BIOS to default settings......

Thank you. It's booted up now. Should I worry about the RGB on the RAM? The RAM load is at 25%. Should I contact technical support?

its not showing in iCue?
You might also want to run memtest for peace of mind that its not got a fault

You can download it here from MemTest directly.
It will create a usb that you set to boot from, and restart your pc, but it takes hours to run so best done when you arent going to want to use it/overnight.

@purplewakanda - I would rule out/in software issues first personally. If it is iCue you use and the RAM is not showing in there any more when it was preivously, then you could try reinstalling iCue perhaps - there is actually new version of it recently released so I don't know which one you have at the moment.

Also, check which slots youve got it all plugged into, just in case...

There is no effect even after updating iCue.

I would of though corsair ram showed up as its own device?. (never had it before)
Do you have armory crate installed so you have aura sync? does that show anything?

It doesnt seem to be recognising any RGB at all, so i think the RAM itself...
I would contact PCS and also try searching the corsair forums

Far as I was aware, Corsair RGB RAM is basically plug and play with iCue, but i've got no direct experience with it im sorry.
