Hello!

 

I have recently built a new PC (Specs below). I wanted to get the most out of my ram, that being 4x16gb sticks of Patriot Viper Venom 6000mhz ddr5 memory. I booted the bios on my Asrock b760 RS Pro motherboard and selected the fastest XMP profile. After saving the changes in the bios, I can no longer get the PC to boot or show any picture on the display. It just runs the fans and RGB and shows a red dram light. I have tried to clear the bios by shorting the bios pins and removing the cmos battery for many hours but nothing has changed. I have tried booting with integrated graphics instead of dedicated ones but this doesn't work either. I also tried some other ddr5 RAM that runs only at 4800mhz but it doesn't change. Same symptoms as before. Aside from accepting that I probably need to replace either my mobo or CPU, I am not sure where to go from here. Is there any advice anyone can give on how to combat this issue? I would love to at least get back into the bios if possible.

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-13700 (non k)

GPU: RTX 3060 12gb

RAM: Patriot Viper Venom 64gb (4x16)

SSD: 500gb WD_Black SN750

Motherboard: ASRock b760 RS PRO Wi-Fi

PSU: MSI A850GL 850w

 

Thanks!

First mistake you made is getting 4x16GB instead of 2x32GB. Two sticks is much easier to run for the memory controller. Usually four sticks limits the RAM speed drastically.

 

Have you tested with one stick in slot A2?

I tried to do that but the symptoms are still there. Can't get a picture. I didn't realize that 4x16 would be a bad idea, but it makes sense. Thanks for informing me. I will just get another CPU and motherboard and use only 16gb of ram for now. Thanks!
