Dram problem

[lvlasked]

Ryzen  5 5600

msi b550 gaming plus

corsair vengeance ram 3200mhz

 

so i can boot up with 1 ram stick in b1 slot but when i put both sticks in b1 and b2 slots the pc throws up the dram light on the board ?

 

all sticks work and our from my main gaming pc as i thought the 1 of the 2 new crucial sticks i brought for this build was faulty but it seems i just carnt boot up with 2 stick in any help would be great .

 

bio is updated and all windows updates ect are also update now just carnt run dual channel

manual shows a2+b2 for dual channel

It's hard to say why it wouldn't boot. Modern motherboards shouldn't care too much if RAM isn't inserted in dual channel with two sticks, but in theory it is possible.
I would check the motherboard manual for which slots are ideal for only two sticks. You should also confirm on the dram sticks themselves if the manufacturing dates are the same, serial numbers near matching too. I would also verify both sticks boot on their own to isolate a faulty stick.

 

I've had tons of problems with Corsair DDR4, so it doesn't surprise me too much; however repeating the issue with the Crucial makes it seem like its not the Corsair's fault

So it basically will only boot with one stick in each channel?
For example, it will boot with sticks in a1 and b1 or a2 and b2; but will not boot with all 4 slots filled

get a error saying memory in wrong slot in i put it in a1 or b1 but if i put ram in 1 ran stick in a2 it boots up if i put one stick in b2 it boot up but say its not optimized but if i but the sticks in A2 and B2 where there ment to be so you can run dual channel no go throws the dram light on

So are you trying to run 4 sticks of RAM?

You have to be in a1 and b1 or a2 and b2 to get dual channel.
If you try running a1 and a2 or b1 and b2 it will be single channel and explain why it says memory is in wrong slot. That shouldn't prevent it from booting, however.

 

Edit: I see what you're saying is wrong now. Your grammar/wording has been confusing lol. 
Sounds like the board might be faulty. You could try clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS before attempting to run 2 sticks again; but its sounding like you may need to RMA the board.

yeah i have cleared the cmos and already got the latest bios installed when i search google loads of people had had this problem it seems
