Bought new ram, and no display

[motivation07]

Hi I had 1600 4 GB Ram and Recently I bought 2 x 4GB ( 8 GB ) took off the 2x2GB and placed the new ones in but once I did that I had no display. Right now I have display because I'm using the old 4GB Ram anyone know what might be the problem?

may be your mb has old ram and cpu code in the bios.check to see if your mb has any bios updates.

What is the model of the motherboard? It might not be capable of using 4gb modules.

Here is a tool that will give you a lot of the info needed:

well my current mb holds a max of 16 GB and there are only 2 slots for ram so I'm guessing it does, going to check the scanner regardless thanks.

last bios was hh.
go into the bios on the first screen will be a line with your bios rev. if it real old download and unzip the hh bios file. then put it on a usb stick and boot into the bios and use the bios updater inside the bios. if not you have to make a bootable usb stick and boot from the stick and run the ami bios updater.

Ok thank you, I will try updating my bios but just to make sure this problem has nothing to do with chipset compability or maybe the amount voltage that is set up in my computer?

 

[motivation07]

My current M/B Chipset : AMD® 760G+SB710

It's listed in that the ram I bought is compatible with : Compatible M/B Chipset:

Intel P55
lntel H55
Intel X48
Intel P45
Intel X38
AMD 890 Series
AMD 790 Series

Is this a big issue?

Also could it be the amount voltage or something?
Can someone help please?

Try with a single stick, if that boots OK, try raising the DRAM voltage + 0.05 then try adding the second stick

So nothing with a single stick? Have you checked the cable, tried the monitor with another rig, tried a different GPU or PSU
