Boot issue - Black screen - No external device connectivity

[MustiFusti]

Dear all,

Recently I've been experiencing booting issue with my 8-ish year old build.

• Black screen
• No external device connects (not even the lights of my keyboard which is the first thing to light up).
• The decoder is displaying "00" which on Intel's website indicate simply "random boot issue"

After some googling, I found that after removing and reinserting the RAM modules, I am able to boot normally again.. for a time.

As such, after a week or so, the issue returns and I simply repeat the process. I'd like to avoid this being standard and therefor I'm reaching out here as I can't seem to find a permanent solution online.

I could buy new RAM modules and give that a try, but I'd like to save the money if possible.

I have very good experience with Corsair's warranty team as every issue I've put forward was resolved quickly. Corsair states "Limited Lifetime Warranty" which I suppose is useable to me?

 

My hardware is as such:

• WIN 10 Pro 64-bit
• Intel Core i7 4790K
• Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB (2x8) Dual-Channel DDR3 1600 MHz (9-9-9-24)
• Asus Maximus VII Formula
• Nvidia GTX 980
• 2x Samsung SSD 850 Pro
• 1x Samsung SSD 850 Evo
• PSU: Seasonic Prime PX-750

The latest edition to the build was the PSU about a year ago.

 

So my questions are:

1. Is my RAM at fault?
   1. If so, what's causing it?
2. Is there a permanent fix?

Any help is appreciated.
