Recently I tried to add more ram to my pc, going from 2x8 go to 4x8gb. But when I added the new ram the pc would power on but no picture would be displayed and the red memOK light came on. I pressed the button to do a memory check but the computer remained dysfunctional. I took the two new sticks out and the computer worked fine. So, two sticks in slots A1 and A2 work, two sticks in b1 and b2 do not work, and one stick in either b1 or b2 do not work. Both sets of ram are the same model and have the same serial number. I tried looking in the bios for an option to enable the b1 and b2 DIMM slots but i could not find any option for that. I cleared my CMOS but that did not work. I updated my BIOS to the latest version but the computer would still not boot properly with any ram in the b slots. In fact the computer now boot loops with any ram in the b slots. I looked on the ASUS support website and they have a list of verified ram for the motherboard, and the exact serial number of my ram is not on the list. But my computer seems to be compatible with just two sticks of the ram. Can anyone help?
