RAM related computer issue

Tricks33 · February 2, 2019

Hello, I recently purchased an additional stick of 8gb RAM (going from 8gb to 16gb), but it would appear that caused an issue. The two sticks are XPG Adata DDR4 with 288pin, alongside a Corsair Vengeance LPX (also DDR4 and 288pin). Ever since I added the new Corsair RAM, the debug LED for RAM and for CPU have been lit, even when I remove the Corsair stick or remove all RAM entirely. In addition, the LEDs and fans will start when the computer is started, but no other function seems to work. I knew there was a good chance that two different brands could cause an issue, but figured the worst case scenario would be that i would have to switch brands to Corsair. If anyone knows of anyway to fix this, I would greatly appreciate some help getting this resolved. Thank you -Tricks33

let it boot cycle a few times. (dont force shutdown and let it turn on and off). let it happen about 3-5 times. this will let the mobo know to ram train the ram. this will essentially loosen ram timings because you tried to use 2 different brands.
