RAM install issue

[luca.dulgheru]

Hello, guys! I'm currently stuck on this problem. I wanted to upgrade my PC from 8GB of RAM to 16GB. Before this, I was running 2 sticks of 4GB each and now Ive bought a single 8GB stick. ( A 2400mhz 15CL 1.2V HyperX) . The problem is, after I plugged the new stick, my PC would only boot to the Motherboard splash art ( and would let me access BIOS) but after that, the screen would just go black ("No signal") instead of booting Windows 10. Keyboard, mouse, internals all lit up. I've tried resetting BIOS ( CMOS battery), boot into safe mode (Works) , swap RAM slots and even running my initial sticks only ( same issue ). Do you guys have any idea of how I could fix this? Thank you! 

 

I gave up on the new stick, I just wanna keep my old ones and have the PC running...

Specs : Mobo - MSI B350 Gaming Plus

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

GPU - Gigabyte Radeon RX 460 Windforce 2 OC 2 GB

RAM(new) - HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400mhz

HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB

SSD - Kingston A400 120GB

PSU - Corsair VS450 450W

wow. no offence but it is really crappy build overall... did you check you boot order? so you can't access windows in any ( even old) ram config?

Thank you for the answer! 

 

1) What is so crappy about it? ( any tips on making it better? )

2) Boot order is correct and the only way to access windows is through safe mode

No offense but... always love that phrase  Means I'm about to be an asshole, but it's okay

1500x with b350 mobo, lowest possible ram speed; for ryzen it is killing performance, plus 2x4gb+1x8gb wouldn't work as good as 4x4gb, crappy PSU

if he build it like this then he should get into topic further next time, if he bought it like this ( if he is noob, and doesn't want to get into pc building) the he is forgiven

I did build it like this and it was my first it has been doing its job pretty well honestly I m sorry it s so trash, but maybe you got any idea on how to make it work at least?

Oh no, you're totally fine, man.  I do that all that time too, and had a buddy in college that we'd all have to pull away when we heard that phrase start to come out of his mouth at the bars...   Just took me back and made me smile

 

You're right,  the build needs help.

I would say reinstall windows and move on...

So is this the only way in your opinion?
