so my RAM L.E.D on my mother board is always on and its always orange im just curious is this supposed to be doing this or is it like a warning light saying somethings wrong with my ram?

I tried google but all gave me was LED for doge ram cars

The instruction manual for your motherboard should tell you what the different indicators are for. If you can't find the manual, or don't have it any more, or never had it, then you should be able to look it up on http://www.google.com.

It means electricity is going through the led.

this is my board

so how do i find the manual for it and then how do i find out what the light means

No, it's a proximity warning. When it turns red it'll explode. Destroying everything.

Usually you can find the manual for it on the manufacturers website. Which the link you provided is. But I couldn't find the manual for your board.

You find the manual by looking for it using a search engine of some sort, and then you find out what the light means by looking it up in the manual.

We're not your own personal tech support solution. Have some initiative.

EDIT: Okay, this is just stupid. There's a link to the manual on the very page you linked to, in the downloads section. If you'd spent two minutes looking around you would have found it and then you wouldn't have needed to ask.

not finding anything searching for my mother board + word manual ...

i just found this useless thing http://www.fixya.com/support/p337765-gigabyte_ga_8s661fxm_motherboard/tags

I refer you to my above edit.

I just typed "GA-8S661FXM Manual" into Google and came back with a full page of links to the manual for that specific motherboard. I don't see how you have so much trouble finding it.

ftp://download.gigabyte.ru/manual/motherboard_manual_8s661fxm-775_11_e.pdf

I found it using Google.

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=GA-8S661FXM+owners+manual&oq=GA-8S661FXM+owners+manual&gs_l=hp.3...24082.28108.1.28771.14.14.0.0.0.0.507.4110.0j3j4j6j0j1.14.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.XBxQBkKrQpo&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=f0a572bdb6ddf815&biw=270&bih=444

it gives me a bunch of links to forums asking questions for other motherboards and unrelated topics

:/ now to read 108 pages of stuff i probably wont ever use



k so what manual says form what ive read so far Dont install or uninstall DIMM modules when the RAM LED is on

by looking at the Diagram DIMM = sticks of RAM soo :/ its a power light i take it ...

I'll help 'ya. Quote form the manual:


So it just means the motherboard receives power and you shouldn't remove RAM.

Common sense really. When it's plugged in and fed power don't take anything out or put anything in.
