Fans spinning but no display

[jonnym947]

Ok so recently I’ve bought a new motherboard, CPU, and ram

My motherboard is MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen A320 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (A320M PRO-VH PLUS)

My new Ram is Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) DR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS8G4D26BFSB (Gray)

A cpu Ryzen 5 1600x

Gtx 650

759 watt power supply

Idk what the pcu is


This was my first time actually taking a computer apart but the first day I got my parts I took the old motherboard out and put the new one in. But I think I found it what it is my ram does not click into the ddr4 ram slot no matter how hard I press still nothing it just goes in and I try pressure on the other side and then the side I just applied pressure to goes up and it’s loose but I’m not sure maybe I’m putting it in wrong??? Plez help.

I don't see a graphics card anywhere in your specs? You won't get a display until you install a graphics card (because the Ryzen 5 1600x does not incorporate a GPU).

Oh, well that's okay then. I thought you didn't have a graphics installed which is why you were getting nothing on the monitor, but that's not the reason obviously.

RAM must be clipped in fully --- you are supposed to press both ends down simultaneously until it clicks in at both ends.

Another thing, Ryzen's are fussy about RAM --- if possible use only RAM that's been tested by MSI, any others may not work.

(tried to put you a link here to RAM compatibility lists on MSI support site, but no dice at moment (MSI server overloaded).

All good man I’m glad I did not mess anything up on my first try 😀, Yea so my ram is definitely the problem here I got home yesterday and tried again pressing as hard as I possibly could on both sides but it just would not click and it would just push back up after applying all of that force thanks now I can go and buy myself some new ram and return this one
