Thanks, I'll give it a try. I typo'd my last response. The RAM is 6000 speed. I very much appreciate your in depth reply.

New build. Asus Prime z790a wifi mobo, i7 13700k, Trident z5 6000 36-36-36-96 ddr5 ram (4x16), Zotac 3090ti, Thunderbolt card, Sound blaster ae5, Ryujin 2 240 AIO, EVGA 1300 psu When I put ram in slots 2 and 4, system works great. When I add ram in slots 1 and 3, won't even POST. No video...
