Ram issues

[Nicholas Rodriguez]

Hey guys, just attempted to add 16gb of ram with the speed 3200mhz to my pc and after installation, my pc began to shut down automatically all of suddenly? And couldn't figure out why? I’ve tried tweaking around in bios, adding the XMP profile, made sure it would giving out enough voltage to the ram and still kept shutting off. Then, when I just inserted one stick of ram, it seems to work just fine but when I add the second one, it runs fine for like 5-10minutes and then it shuts off again. Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be the PSU ?

What motherboard? Are they matching sticks? What slots did you use?

If this is a continuation from your older thread, here

The most logical reason would be that the integrated memory controller is having a hard time running 4 DIMMS (I assume 4x 8GB RAM modules, right?) at 3200MHz.

Asrock 520m/ac and yes they're matching sticks because they came in a kit (Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 BL2K8G32C16U4B) and i only have two slots on my MOBO and it's A1 A2 slots.

What were your old memory modules??? Did you have two of them installed prior to upgrading?

I only had one installed because I bought my rig prebuilt so, and it was a XPG Gammix D10 DDR4 3000 (16A) 8GX4
