Question ASUS ROG STRIX B250M Doesnt POST

[Antunious]

This Problem occurred while i was trying to install new ram. I had a ram slot to use and found 16gb hyper furyx 3400mhz for ~50€ so i decided that i want to upgrade a bit. I know it doesnt really make that much sense to upgrade with a 1060 to 32gb but i use windows 10 thus always had problems with my ram. Im pretty sure that the ram i used is on the part list of the mobo. The problem is like in the title that my pc wont boot anything.All the fans turn on. The fans of the gpu turn off because its a gigabyte 1060 and i can hear all the drives boot up but the screen wont display anything and my keyboard wont light up too. No beeps either. Also the same problem when i try to boot it up without the new ram even though it worked perfectly fine before.




So basically my setup looks like this:
I7 7700k
16gb ram
Asus b250m
GTx 1060
2 newer harddrives
1tb wd hdd
250gb wd black m.2
and 2 older harddrives
320gb wd hdd
200gb wd hdd

It is a bit unclear to me, are you using the new 16 GB HyperX Fury together with another RAM stick, or do you use it is the only RAM stick?

If you are mixing two different RAM sticks, that is most likely your problem.

When using 2, 4 or more RAM sticks, you need to buy a kit with the total amount of RAM you want, and the total number of modules you want.

Even when trying to use two identical sticks of RAM, purchased seperately, they can cause problems like the ones you are describing.

So if you are mix-matching RAM, don't continue doing it, until you are sure it can work together - not only on paper, but in reality as well.

To make sure the new RAM stick isn't faulty, you can try booting the PC on that new RAM stick alone.

If it works on its own, but not along with your other module, you have identified the issue.

Ty for answering. Yes I was mixing between ram sticks before but it worked perfectly fine without problems. Now I already tried or even trying right now to boot it on only one ram stick and it still doesnt work. But wouldnt it give me a beep code if it was the memory beeing faulty anyway?

It will only give you a beep code, if you have the small speaker for the motherboard installed - it is not standard on all motherboards.

Have you tried resetting BIOS?

Asus b250m uses 2400MHz memory, nothing higher for 7th gen intel CPU.

HyperX Fury 3400MHz often only runs at high speeds:
JEDEC/XMP TIMING PARAMETERS
• JEDEC/PnP: DDR4-3466 CL19-23-23 @1.2V
•XMP Profile #1: DDR4-3466 CL19-23-23 @1.2V
•XMP Profile #2: DDR4-2933 CL17-19-19 @1.2

Since the B250 Chipset doesn't run at those speeds, it does not work.

Yes i have the speaker installed and made sure it is installed properly. I tried resetting it multiple times. nothing worked

Oh i was pretty sure it would just clock it down. Well that problem is now out of the way now just why doesnt it work even with just my old ram?

 

[MadsModsat]

Maybe it would be a good idea to describe what steps you have already taken while troubleshooting the problem, this way you avaoid getting suggestions you have already tried 😉

 

[Antunious]

Okay even weirder now. It went into the bios buuut just with the new ram? im confused.

 

[Antunious]

Well i tried many things and am not sure right now what i have tried and havent. Also I want to try everything again in case i just messed up something really simple or overlooked it. ^^

 

[Antunious]

The 16gb ram are shown even in windows clocked at 2400mhz just as expected

 

[Antunious]

Everything works now even with the mixed ram. Thank you for all your answers
