I have 16GB RAM in my computer every time I try to put in one or two sticks of ram inside the computer my computer monitor will show no signal for about 3 seconds then it goes blank/black nothing is showing on my monitor. When I take out the extra RAM the computer monitor will run great. I have check in bios the memory frequently is at 3600MHz. I have check the motherboard to see how much RAM it can support it can support 128GB of RAM. The RAM I am try to install inside my computer is G.Skill Trident Z NEO Series it is the same RAM I have inside the computer right now. I can't figure out what is causing the problem no signal with the extra RAM

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

What RAM configuration is currently installed?

Check the motherboard's User Guide/Manual for specifically supported RAM modules and RAM configurations.

And most manuals include some notice to visit the motherboard manufacturer's website for more up to date information. Do that as well.

All installed RAM must be from a matched kit for Dual Channel use.

Also note that some motherboards require that the first physically installed RAM module be installed in a specific RAM slot.

Details matter.
 
Ok here it is

full system hardware specs and OS information. Windows 10 home 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, CPU is ryzen 7 3700x, CPU Cooling stock and RGB wraith CPU cooler, motherboard is asus b550-a, RAM 16GB RGB G. Skill Trident Z neo 3600MHz


I have already two inside my computer I am trying to install 2 more stick of 8GB if RAM in the slot of 1 and 4.

I have check the specifically supported of RAM on the motherboard of asus b550-a it can support it

I am trying to install the same exact RAM that is already running in my computer

I have try putting one of each stick of RAM in each slot 1 and 4 and I have try putting both stick of ram in the
results are always the same my computer monitor will say no signal.

If there any more details you need just let me know

 
You cannot expect to run 4 sticks of RAM at the same speed as 2 sticks. The extra bus capacitance and load on the memory controllers often require a significant speed reduction.

You should regard the speed rating of your RAM as "up to 3600MHz in the right circumstances" and NOT "guaranteed to run at 3600MHz in all configurations".

If you fit just two DIMMs and play around with timings and voltages, you might get your RAM to work at 4,000MHz or even higher. Some memory is eminently overclockable in the hands of an expert.

To correct your problem, disable the memory overclock (3,600MHz) in the BIOS and set the RAM frequency back to the JEDEC (non XMP) default for your DIMMs. This might be 2400MHz or thereabouts. Save the BIOS changes and see if the computer boots up. The lower the RAM frequency, the greater the chance it will work.

If the system boots at 2400MHz, increase the frequency one step, reboot and check for stability. Repeat until the PC crashes in Windows or fails to start. Reduce the memory speed one step and run MemTest86 as a final check. If it still crashes, drop the speed another notch.
