Question I installed new ram sticks, infinite loop, I cant enter to the bios, minimum speed, etc :(

[sketdjo]

Hi everyone!, I hope someone can help me, I tried to upgrade my system with 2 new ram sticks (8GBx2) (2666 / XPM 3200) (Model: XPG Z1 DDR4), the problem is:
-I tried to boot the computer with the 2 new sticks and the pc was in an infinite loop of booting, BAD.
-Next, I tried again with 1 NEW module and it started and I could enter to the BIOS. It was running at 2666.
-I change the profile to 3200, restarted and I could enter to windows (1 NEW stick OK).
-I tried again with 2 NEW stick (Infinite Loop) (BAD)

I thought one of the new sticks was not working,
-but I tried to boot the pc with the OLD Ram (2400) and 1 stick of the NEW ONE.
-It booted and entered to windows running at 2400, I left the OLD ram and change the new1 with the second new02 ram stick
and it worked perfectly, entered to windows and worked at 2400. (OLD ram + 1 NEW ram(Any of the 2) OK)

-Next, I tried with the OLD ram and the 2 new sticks, and it worked perfectly, but the new ones are working at 2400 (All of the sticks are working at the minimum)
The problem is that I want to work at 3200, not 2400. I don't use 24GB of volume, I prefer 16GB with more speed.
But I can't enter to the bios with the new ones (only 1), I clear the CMOS, change the sticks in different channels (1-3, 2-4, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4)
I don't know how to solve this.

Have your tried updating your BIOS?

Your pc is bottlenecking.

Your pc is bottlenecking.

What are you talking about? Clearly nothing to do with the OP.

I agree about making sure the BIOS is up to date. Is the new RAM on the motherboard QVL or do AData say it is tested with that motherboard? 1000 & 2000 series Ryzen are from what I read more sensitive to RAM compatibility. Although it should work higher I have seen several posts here where they could not get higher than 2933/3000 on a 2000 series cpu.

I'll try today, I thought that solution is for the last option.
Thanks!!

🙁 Ok, I think the speed of 2933 or 3000 is ok, the ram is not on the motherboard QLV. It's weird, because I can enter to the BIOS with 1 stick and load the xmp profile of 3200 and it worked, but with 2 stick the pc couldn't enter to the BIOS (infinite loop). I'll try update the BIOS.
Thanks!!

The web of As rock says in the last BIOS update: *ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system.
The Ryzen 5 2600x is Pinnacle, I've doubts about update the system :/

I updated the BIOS 4.10. The original problem is the same. I tried the same methods and nothing worked.
I use the ryzen memory calculator, write the same values, but same results. Anyway, Thanks
