Bad Ram stick

Dklime · August 10, 2021

My old PC died due to power surge.

long story short. i got a new mobo, CPU and PSU

but the new Mobo wont boot with 1 of the ram sticks (no matter what slot it's in)

but i had no problems on the old mobo with the ram.

Old mobo Z170 pro gaming

New mobo b550-f rog strix gaming

Ram -> Corsair Vengeance 2400 CL 16 2x8g

did the stick go bad or what is going on?

I would check your CPU and make sure you didn't accidentally bend or damage any pins and remount it and try again.

already did that one time since it wulden boot to start up with.
removed 1 stick and no problems. but since the one stick dosent work (even in the single slot the working one is in now)
i presume it the stick over the CPU.
thanks for the quick reply tho my man. much appreciated
