Is there any way to make a ram stick compatible with a incompatible chipset?

This Christmas i got a new pc but i have really cheaped out on my motherboard, so much so i had constant bluescreens.

Turned out the fault of the BSODs was that my RAM Module HyperX Fury Black 8GB, DDR4, 2400MHz was incompatible with my A320M PRO-VD PLUS motherboard

So i got a new 8 gb module and everything got fixed. 


Is there any way to get the older ram module compatible with the chipset so i can have 16 gb of total memory, as the 2 sticks have the same frequency as eachother ( 2400 MHz ) and are both from the same brand

Like any way, no matter the lengths it takes.

 

Thanks for reading!

Was it with XMP enabled or no? If the crashed happened from XMP, manually tuning the memory instead helps.

 

Alternatively, leaving both in at 2133 still gives way more bandwidth than a single 2400 and since you're rocking Ryzen you should roll with that instead.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Ill try downclocking with both on and see if that helps

Thanks a ton!

Tried downclocking them to 2133 Mhz but it wouldn't boot... 

Searched for some pre-made profiles in the BIOS but couldn't find any

 

Is there any reason for it to not open with those settings? Cause when i modified the frequency i only did it once and maybe it has individual frequency control on both modules

No, ram always defaults to the lowest frequency of whatever dimms are installed. As for bios, settings, an update might help with compatibility.
