I'm in the middle of a RAM upgrade, fortunately I'm writing this post from my PC

[podkall]

So I bought new ram it's larger and faster,

I took my whole pc apart, and put it in a new case, and inserted new ram sticks,

 

when I tryed to turn on PC the PC turned on, but monitor stayed black, I tryed swapping sticks.

Than I tryed old ram sticks, they also didn't work.

 

BUt than I tried a single stick and on another try when I was putting the RAM in it snapped not only on left side, but also one the right side, after I turned on PC I easily booted to Windows...

 

Am I just bad at putting the RAM in the motherboard? Or is there something wrong with my new Ram?

 

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 3 1200

Ol' ram: (two sticks)

Hyper X Fury 4GB 2133Mhz CL14

New ram: (two sticks)

Patriot VIPER Steel 8GB 3000Mhz CL18

What do you mean by snaps do you mean the clips seated themselves in the proper position or would you mean you broke something?

the snap sound every ram and GPU make when the clips go from open to locked

Did you clear CMOS when you put the new RAM in?

[pizza69]

Ok there should be nothing wrong just open up task manager to see if it detects both sticks and if you're not sure check the motherboard manual to make sure you're running dual channel. Also changing ram with mobo installed can be pretty annoying especially if it flexes alot. Wish you luck

u gotta do that sometimes? also should I just try if I fucked up the seating of RAM?

Had this very similar issue with my office PC.

To play around, I installed my 3600mhz B-Die kit. 

The system did well, overclocking much better than the previous memory kit.

Which was Corsair Vengence LED 3000 (I've recently told this story too lol)

 

So swapped the memory and cleared the cmos.

No post. Black screen, fans spinning nothing happened.

All the same procedures you've listed. 

Right down to a single stick of memory, 1st slot and finally posted.

 

The Cpu is a 220ge and the board is B450M-A

It's a very bottom end board. It doesn't like my Venegence memory.

Naturally after being spoiled, it gave me a hard time similar to yours.

 

In the end, I did get 2 sticks working after several cold start attempts.

Tested stable after it finally cooperated, never a blue screen, just no post.

My take on it, it's a cheapy board, and theCPU IMC loved the B-die and refused to post with the Hynix 

 

The end. XD

It's wise to do with new CPU or RAM. BIOS saves your settings with both. Try clearing it, installing your new ram and then POSTing. I'd let it boot to windows before you set up XMP profiles

The CMOS is the thing where you connect the specific wires on MB right?

Also could it be old bios (though I doubt cheap MBs updare bios :P)

The board actually supports 5000 processors, so yes, they do release a lot of updates. (It's an Asus board, so can't speak for other manufacturers without looking)

 

There's a 2 pin jumper lower right corner of the board on most boards.. (Not sure what board you have)

You only have to connect the pins for 10 seconds. Can check your manual for help there.

does PSU have to be in? or should I make it so there's no power from PSU?

also the MB: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/PRIME-B450M-K/

PSU completely unplugged. Just turn it off and unplug from the wall.  Your motherboard allows you to have it plugged in.

Edit:

Here's the steps and location from your manual.

You can leave the PSU on when you jump the pins. That only matters if you remove the cmos battery method. 

Purple circle #11. Anything metallic, a coin, screw driver ect. You can even wire in an old case reset swith to make easier next time.

the ram is also more "taller" than the older one do you think maybe that's why I might have difficulty seating it properly?

Nah, It's just a tight fit. line em' up straight and push them in till they click (2 clicks, one at each end, but if at the same time, sounds like 1.). Really no tricks to it.

ah that might be the issue, when I tryed to fit the sticks I only clicked one side, I also had trouble alligning them and 3+ I pushed on them without hearing a click or seeing the mechanism in a locked state

I have couple of questions regarding my upgrade.

Cool, glad to hear that.
