Hi ale143 and welcome to ROG

That Flashing LED is your DIMM voltage setting and will continue until rectified.

DDR_CRAZY -Flashes RED
DDR_HIGH - Flashes YELLOW
DDR_NORMAL-Flashes GREEN.

Check the specs for your DIMMs and change voltage in Bios.

I have reset CMOS but i can't see nothing on my monitor because it blocked as i show you in my video.

The RAM led is steady on while the CPU led blinks only when i try to turn it on.

List your full system specs, your operating system and Bios revision, so we can provide better help.

I have Linux and Windows 8 in dual boot.

Bios revision is 1502

the CPU is i7 975 and the ram is Corsair dominator 12GB(3x4GB) 2000mhz.

I have removed the waterblock of my R3 and when i reassemble all, I have had this problem.

OK you have the latest bios, Your DIMMs are not listed on the QVL tho, this is not to say they wont work.

How did you apply thermal paste to CPU, are you sure you applied properly and tightened down evenly.

I hope you didn't bend any pins in CPU socket when inserting.

Have you tried installing just one DIMM in first slot and switched modules in case one is bad.

Other things to think of:

- Do you have Qcode readout, if so where does it stop?
- Removed the Video card and all memory and all HD's ( barebones boot )
- Cleared the CMOS both with the onboard button and taking out the CMOS battery for 5 min.
- Switched bios 1 to bios 2 ( with manual button on motherboard ) no change.
- Checked your PSU and all connecting cables.
- Checked all EPS connections.

Can't think of anything else atm, see how you go.

When you removed the waterblock it is very possible that you may have over tightened or in some other way caused this to happen. Please check that nothing has been damaged and all cooling has been tightened evenly.
