Update: 1 stick of the new ram allows the pc to boot. Any ideas?

Plugging in the old RAM works, the PC boots which is nice. Booting up with both the old AND new RAM gives me the same problem... how do I make my bios recognise this memory? Is that the problem?

Hi all, I have an MSI mag z390 tomahawk motherboard. I swapped out my hyperx fury 2x8GB RAM with some Patriot Viper steel 2x8GB 4400Mhz RAM and my screens are showing that there is no signal, and my keyboard isn’t lighting up. I have tried moving the RAM into different slots, removing the...

Hi all, Here is my case. I am buying an i9-9900k and was looking for some water cooling. I was planning on the Corsair h115i pro 280mm - will this fit? Do you have any better recommendations? I am not concerned with price, only that the item fits, adequately cools and is reliable. edit: in...

I need to upgrade my cpu and motherboard. Looking to get a coffee lake i5 8400 and I wondered if there was a motherboard that is compatible with that (lga1151 socket) and ddr3 ram. Will also be looking to buy an nvidia gtx 1060 at some point. I was looking at the msi z370 gaming plus...

my GT 520 graphics card just packed up and I wanted a replacement. Not sure how it all works but will a GTX 970 fit on my Asus A68HM-K motherboard? I am planning on replacing the case for more fans anyway so that's not an issue.
