PC Shutdown (5 Seconds)

LordArcturus
Go to solution Solved by LordArcturus,

Fixed, had to add the RAM Modules to completely opposite colors (Black #4 and Grey #2) -_-

 

Illogical? Yes. But whatever works, works.

I bought a few new parts for my new PC sadly whenever I add in more than 1 stick of RAM it causes a 5 Second power on/off cycle, what causes this problem.

 

(Current slot taken up is #2 cuz apparently, any other slot will cause the power cycle to turn on and off every 5 seconds)

Maybe enabling XMP memory profiles in the BIOS.

Which one? I have 2.

 

NVM, It did not work, it still does a 5 Second on/off cycle
