ram Ram troubleshooting

Agent181 · June 11, 2020

Hey all,

I started having an issue of my 32 gb of ram not booting anymore so I tested all 4 sticks of 8 gbs alone in dual and one by one. They all work in separate combinations but not all 4 at once. So I swapped my Asus b450f for an ASRock x570 I had for another system and same issue followed.

Any ideas on how to fix it? The 32 gb of ram were running fine for 5 months and then stopped working all of a sudden. It is the same as the link below except it's 2 black dims and 2 white dims. They are the same frequency, timings and model from Corsair that worked for a while until they stopped.

Any help is appreciated, I am limiting what I do to not max out the 16 gb I have right now currently.

test each module one by one with Memtest86.

one module might be broken.

Sometime it boots up and run like normal after an overclock...the sets are sold for 2x8gb and only test to work ar the advertised frequency in that configuration...maybe it wasn't stable at all when you run it in 4 stick mode..just until now that the problem surfaced...also take a look at this video...there's more detail on how the motherboard layout affect adding ram to the other 2 slots..ryzen motherboards are daisy chain...

Try reset the bios and run at stock speed...

I have the 2700x running at stock speeds, no overclocks done on my end at all. Only reason why I went with that 2x8 was since at the time I never needed more than 16gb until now. I'm guessing there is no going around this unless buying again right or running 3 sticks for 24 as that does work.

Update, I have 24gb of ram running. I know this is not efficient but its working for me right now. I tried every stick combination and they all work together but not 4 together.
