RGB LED issue on patriot viper venom 32 gb ddr5 RAM: One stick flashes on boot, then stays dark - Any fix? Question

Hi everyone,

I need some help with a peculiar RGB issue regarding my patriot viper venom 32 gb ddr5 RAM sticks.

Here is the exact behavior: When I power on my PC, one of my RAM sticks performs a quick, bright 'flash' (proving its LEDs are physically functional), but then it turns completely dark immediately after and stays off. The other stick works perfectly fine.

I have already tried all standard troubleshooting steps without success:

  • Power Cycle: Fully shut down, unplugged the PSU, drained capacitors by holding the power button, and waited 15 minutes before reconnecting.
  • Software: I have completely uninstalled MSI Center and checked services.msc to ensure no conflicting lighting services are running (LightKeeperService is disabled).
  • System: The RAM is recognized perfectly by the system and runs stable at its rated speeds. Even when swapping the sticks, the problem stays with the same specific module.

Despite trying a clean software state and power resets, the RGB controller on that single RAM stick seems stuck in this 'off' state after the initial boot flash.

Has anyone experienced this specific 'flash-and-die' issue with patriot viper venom 32 gb ddr5 memory? Is there any other trick to force the controller to reset, or is this likely a hardware defect?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Problema LED RGB su RAM PATRIT VIPER 32GB DDR5: si illuminano all'avvio, poi rimangono spente - Qualche soluzione?

Ciao a tutti,

Ho bisogno di aiuto per uno strano problema RGB con i miei banchi di RAM.

Il comportamento è questo: quando accendo il PC, i LED della RAM fanno un veloce e luminoso 'lampo' (dimostrando che i LED funzionano fisicamente). Tuttavia, subito dopo questo flash iniziale, si spengono completamente e rimangono tali, indipendentemente dalle impostazioni software.

Ho già provato tutti i passaggi di risoluzione dei problemi standard senza successo:

  • Ciclo di alimentazione: Ho spento completamente il PC, staccato l'alimentatore, scaricato i condensatori tenendo premuto il tasto di accensione e ho aspettato 15 minuti prima di ricollegare tutto.
  • Software: Ho disinstallato completamente MSI Center e controllato i servizi in services.msc per assicurarmi che non ci fossero conflitti nei servizi di illuminazione (LightKeeperService è disabilitato).
  • Sistema: La RAM viene riconosciuta perfettamente dal sistema e funziona in modo stabile alle velocità impostate.

Nonostante il tentativo di pulizia software e i reset elettrici, il controller RGB sulla RAM sembra bloccato in questo stato 'spento' dopo il flash iniziale di avvio.

Qualcuno ha mai riscontrato questo specifico problema del 'lampo all'avvio e poi spegnimento' con le RAM ? Esiste qualche altro trucco per forzare il reset del controller, o è probabilmente un difetto hardware?

Ogni consiglio è ben accetto. Grazie!"
