I bought two more sticks to fill all four and ive found that when i populate the third slot and boot the computer, there is no display on screen.

Ive tested different ramm in the same slot and the same issue occurs.

I am hoping it is some weird setting because the motherboard is not even a year old yet.

Any ideas, or tools that i can run?

The motherboard is an msi z790 edge and the memory is corsair vengeance 6400mhz 16gb sticks.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

As an immediate suggestion refer to MSI's motherboard's User Guide/Manual.

Verify two things: 1) the RAM modules are supported via the QVL and, 2) that RAM is installed in a supported configuration.

Some motherboards require that the first physically installed RAM be placed in a specific RAM slot. Commonly DIMMA2.

And that placement - if required - does make a difference.


Details matter.
