Installed new ram - Computer turns on for around 5 seconds then shuts off and repeats.

[ajmcgrady3]

Just installed new 2x8 Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000mhz ram to replace my 1x8 2400mhz DDR4 stick that came with my computer. My motherboard is a B350M Bazooka (MS-7A38) 1.0. So when i put in the 16gb of new ram (removed the old ram) the computer powers on for about 5 seconds then turns off and repeats. The monitor, keyboard, mouse does not turn on. I tried every order of spacing the ram also. I turned off the pc and turned off the power supply switch in the back before installing this ram. I put back my old 1x8 ram in and it booted up and performed like normal. What is the problem here, please help.

do a cmos reset with one one of the new ram on board then try to boot it might take a few shot to have it run .

How do i do a cmos reset? I can't do anything with the new ram in because it turns on and shuts off in a loop. Monitor doesn't get turned on also.

with ram in and power off check your motherboard user manual how to reset cmos process .

There's a battery on the motherboard, you can take that out and power on the computer to clear the CMOS. This happened to me too, and all I did was re-seat the RAM.
The proper RAM configuration should be "DIMMA2" and DIMMB2", as shown on the manual (https://imgur.com/a/EHVk7EC)
Try switching which stick is closest to the CPU, and make sure they are in the correct slots.
