6800xt Upgrading my GPU broke my Ram?

[WarzorAMD]

So I finally got my hands on a 6800xt,

However that's where the good news ends. 

 

Swapped out my old 5700xt and replaced with with my new Red Devil 6800xt - 

Turned the computer on and then it crashed - rebooted - Blue Screened - rebooted - blue screened - wouldnt boot. 

 

After a bit of looking, the Mobo was showing it wasnt detecting any ram - 

Swapped the Ram Ports - didnt work

Tried 1 stick of ram in each port and it worked

Tried the other stick of ram - each port and it worked

 

I updated all the BIOS, Drivers etc - 

tried the Ram again - and no change 

 

My computer will load and play with just 1 8gb stick however its not ideal running at 90%  all the time. 

 

I Cannot figure it out, what to do next 

I have noticed while playing some games and pulling over 120watt on the GPU their is some coil wine - which stops the minute the demand drops 

 

Ordered new ram to see if that works? 

 

Any Ideas would be great right now! 

 

Current spec 

CPU - Ryzen 5800x

GPU - Red Devil 6800XT

Mobo - Asus ROG B550-E

Ram - Corsair 8gb (1 stick in)

PSU - 750w Corsair RM750 gold

 

Storage -

1 x M.2 500gb

1 x SSD 240gb

1 x HDD 1tb

Random, but try changing the PCIe port the GPU is plugged into to either Gen4 or Gen3, instead of auto. Try both, see what happens. Other than that, do you have XMP/DOCP enabled?

Try removing/changing shared memory in BIOS. One of those GPU's is 8gb and the other is 16gb. When you take that extra 8gb off which came with the new gpu by unplugging a ram, the confused system might just be working again for some reason.

8GB of RAM was fine 7 years ago,but in 2022 it's recommended to have 16GB.

So had a tinker in the bios - set to GEN 4 PCIE rather then Auto 

Changed shared memory on PC 

 

As if by Magic - Back to 16GB of ram working again! 

 

Thanks for the ideas! I'm I can do mechanical problems but BIOS is still a weak point! 

 

Thanks everyone!

maybe the ram slots are labled to allow you to read which ones are useful, and this time they are in the useful slots.
