Just enough computer knowledge to help or hinder.       

The red, green, blue (RGB) random access memory (RAM) lighting in my personal computer was showing the default color scheme. Lovely but not in sync with the color scheme of the other RGB components which is that of the night sky. This is important for my computer lights up like Las Vegas! Without the Elvis impersonator.

I’ve been looking into fixes to resolve this issue. Most fixes focused-on elements within a particular process which appeared to be absent from my computer. Other fixes required changes to the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Now one thing I do not ever try is to access and make changes to the BIOS of my computer. The simplest fix was to install the software for my specific RAM. This is the route I took. Voila! Fixed. Kind of.

The software won’t sync with my mother board, so I must manually set the color scheme. What a bother. It’s not cycling through the colors or doing any kind of dynamic color shifting.

So, I have the correct color scheme but no dynamic color shifting! This is acceptable but not what I want.

As I have been working to resolve this issue, I realize I know enough about my computer to complete minor fixes but not enough to really address the situation to obtain the resolution I want. What I could probably do is create a huge problem and have no RGB.

I can accept the static color scheme. At least for now. What I would like to see is the computer parts manufacturers to create RGB that works across the board! I also want world peace, but it looks like I am not getting it either.

But my computer is lovely with its blue, green, and purple color scheme. It’s the night sky, only flashier.
