Magman5

It did. After waiting a long time for a reset it booted slowly, but normally, and continued to work after i added the additional 16 GB. Thanks so much for the help again.

Everything's as tight as itll get, so I'll try resetting and come back to let you know if anything's changed. Thanks for the help, its appreciated.

I was worried about bending the motherboard with the pressure it takes to put the ram back in.

Should I consider resetting the BIOS?

I was worried about bending the board, but everything is back inside atm.

Just swapped original stick into different slot with no affect. I did take out my motherboard to swap sticks the second time. Is there anything that couldve been jostled/unplugged that could make it restart on power up?

I re-inserted the original stick in the same slot and no change.

Done. No change. Is it possible I've damaged my entire motherboard?

Its connected to a gtx 1060

PC does not beep, although the fan whirring when powering up is much more gradual than normal. I get literally 0 output as in monitor isnt registering anything.

Yes, the exact same. I have also tried several different configurations of # of sticks and slots.

Earlier today I decided to add an additional two sticks of 8 GB DDR4 ram to my PC. Not too bad right? Just plop 'em in and go. Not the case at all. At first the sticks wouldnt register (because I hadn't put them in all ththe way) and in the middle of it tries swapping a stick to a different port without turning off my PC... yes, ik, stupid. My PC now will boot for all of 5 or so seconds, restart, and then stay on. However, the fan startup sound is slower than normal and no display is being output. Help!

Hello, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong spot as I've only just found this forum, but I've got a question about my crappy frame rate for COD Modern Warfare. Currently my PC has an i3-8100 CPU with a 1060 GTX graphics card 6 GB and 8 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM. I tried to budget build my PC for about $600 for the first time a couple years ago, and until now have been extremely happy with how smoothly run games since I've play a lot of LoL, CS:GO, and GW2. However, I did only do 8 GB of ram, which at the time I was told not enough, but with the results I was getting didn't seem an issue. Well, now it might be. The issue I'm having is at all of the lowest graphics settings, and no other background tasks running I can really only push about 30 FPS out of MW, and if Discord is up that number just becomes super volatile. I recently looked up the minimum requirements and 12 GB of RAM is the minimum, which would seemingly make sense. Last Thursday I ordered 16 more Gigs of RAM (2 x 8 GB) to aid this issue, but then found out that 3 sticks is a bit of an inefficient number. So, is it going to be better to only use 2 instead of all three? Is the RAM even the issue or is it my graphics card? I'm thinking about upgrading another part on my PC soon, so recommendations are appreciated. Thanks
