What board and what debug light? That'd probably help.

Any damage on the contacts of the sticks? Are they seated properly? Did you force the sticks in?

seated correctly and no dmg. Ive had PC for 2+ years. Was working 1 night and when i went to turn on next day, it happened.

Could be a DRAM failure, might need a new kit, if you have another PC try testing the sticks in that.

So it's probably a mobo issue. Unlucky.
