PC won't startup after changing RAM

[ElectroBrocoli]

Hi, I was changing my RAM, from 2GB DDR3 to 4GB DDR3, after i change my RAM my PC won't booted up, but after i change it back to the old RAM and clearing the CMOS it booted up. What can i do now ? (old ram : samsung 2GB DDR3 1280MHz, neew RAM : v-gen 4GB DDR3 1280MHz)

the problem is...., i use normal bios and not UEFI and also my RAM slot is single channel

What CPU? If it's core 2 series then they're a bit finicky when it comes to ddr3 from my experience

 

Did you reset CMOS with new RAM config? I read that you reset CMOS after reverting, not after the change

It can be a bit finicky, and give it like 1 minute for each test because it may require memory training when you change RAM

okay, I'll let it overnight unpowered

Hmm that may help but it's unlikely

 

You likely have to finesse it, try replugging it and maybe clean the slots (carefully)

okay, i'll let the CMOS take care of it, and the slots probably are clean, since i clean it when i change the RAM sticks
