PC fails to post

[tom435]

Hi I bulit my pc a while back and here are my specs:

asus prime b250m-plus

i5 6600k cooled with be quiet pure rock

gtx 1050 asus phoneix

2x8gb gskill aegis ram

be quiet pure power 11 600watt

1x 5.4k toshiba hdd

1x 7.2k seagate barracuda

and m.2 intel 760p ssd

So my pc was running just fine without any issues until I moved 1 ram stick into B slot on motherboard (before i had both in A slots (A1 and the other in A2)now i have one in A1 and the other in B1) so I have dual channel ram instead of one like before but now Iam sometimes getting failed to post message also I think that it happens only after my pc is not turned on for atleast a day. So what could be an issue here? Also I already tried to reseat my ram and it doesnt help.

Alright , is there anything else that you omitted from your post that you've tried already so we don't sit here recommending things you've already done?

the board has had several bios updates related to stability and memory compatibility so update it then try the memory

yeah about that bios update Iam really scared to mess with that... And also as I mentioned it was running just fine before with this ram installed (around 3months)

then return the machine to the configuration it was previously in and ignore the firmware fix that was issued to the board regarding the issue you are having

Yeah ill try that and see what happens really confuses me why just moving ram into a diffrent slot coused an issue like that (at least i hope that this is a problem)

I'm sure it also initially confused the people who figured out the problem and issued the fix for it 2 years ago

and also how do you update the bios do you have to do it version by version or just download the latest one and install it?

As in the issue must have been puzzling before they found the answer to the problem.

tldr there’s a bios update for your board that supposedly fixes known issues with the memory controller, it’s probably the issue you are seeing

Bios updates are pretty easy these days, usb stick with the update on it, probably a utility in your bios to update it without issue

 

otherwise just revert to single channel for the sake of stability 

 

ok thanks ill try first with the single channel for a week than ill report back just to make sure its the ram cusing the problems
