Aurora R10, 2-1 yellow blinks
Hi. I have a Aurora R10, Ryzen 9, RTX 3090, 32GB ram. today , while I was playing it froze and nothing was working anymore. I had to hard reset it and then the monitor, keyboard and mouse were not getting anything from the unit. the LED is blinking twice then a small pause then one more blink then pause and repeat (2-1 blink) . I've found other people that had the same issue and they said that they did a CMOS reset and changed the CMOS battery. I took the RAM, video board and hard drives out. cleaned the ports with air, replaced the CMOS battery, reseted the CMOS and nothing. Still the 2-1 yellow blink. Prior to this issue I never had any issue with it. been using this computer for about 2.5 years. never did any OC, never changed any part in it. It is like I got it. I've only opened it twice per year for dusting ( last dusting was in November 2024 ) and never had any issue with it. What can I do to fix this issue?

@CristianNae Remove the memory modules and put them back in. If you can enter the BIOS, try loading BIOS defaults.

When you changed the battery, you did use a brand new battery and not one you had laying around, leave the old battery out of the system for 15 minutes before installing the new one. Keep in mind that the flash code you posted can mean a system board failure.

@JOcean the battery was brand new. Just bought it before installing it. I took out the old one , and waited about 10-15 minutes before putting in the new one. I saw in the manual that this is a board failure but I also saw replies in similar topics from people that replaced the board and still continue to have the same issue. I wanna try everything else before replacing the board and i'm trying to see what else can be done before changing the board.

@Vanadiel thank you .. it worked. I took the ram out , placed them on the other slots ( it didn't work ) took them back out and put them on the initial slot and it worked after the 2nd try. Manage to access bios and i've loaded the bios default and not is working good
Thank you very much !!
In case I have the same issue again , what do you think I should do again? I mean the RAM in/out will not work forever.
Is there a component I need to consider to change? the RAM plates or the MB or the PSU?

@CristianNae It was likely the coin cell battery. Once that goes these systems tend to become haunted and you have to do odd things like take the ram out and put it back in to get them going.
Once they are going, and with a new coin cell battery, you should be good for some years.
