I dont know what to do anymore. This morning i started my pc and i geadd 3 beepa and went in a bootloop. After 5 times it started up but Windows only recognized 8gb instead of 16gb and the ram was running at 2133mhz instead of 3000. The bios said 16gb but still 2133 even with xmp enabled. When i click save and reset it goes into a bootloop again.

I dont have money to replace stuff and my pc only gave me probleem since i had it.

 

Spec:

Ryzen 5 2600x

B450M DS3H

Coraair vengeance 16gb 3000mhz

Rt 2060 super

 

I cant sell it because it doesn't work and the prices went very low because the new launches, i cant being it to computer store because theyre closed, and they will tell me what i already know, probbably ram. I dont know what to do anymore.

Have you tried running the ram in different slots? Each stick separately?

remove all overclock and clear cmos (xmp is an overclock)

try one stick at a time and in each memory slot.   It might not me a bad ram stick but a bad ram slot.

Yup, it was a bad slot. Got it running now but unfortunately not on dual channel

That's sad to hear ... maybe try to snatch a cheap used motherboard when everybody will switch platform cause of the new amd cpu release.  I saw one around here for about 80$ cad ... maybe you could be lucky and get one for even less in a couple months.
