Question Is my computer dead or would it work still?

[Craimforce]

I have used 32GB ram once on my system and it was incompatible. After that i am never able to boot my sysem. (I have 3x 16gb ram sticks). i tried using only once. And still keeps on beeping. I have tried to remove battery cmos -> click the power button 15 seconds. Still the same issue.

A 3x RAM configuration is either odd, or old school. Do you mind sharing the complete specs of this build? Include power supply.

It's 4. But i never managed it to boot with 4. So i used 3 and it had been working. But then i used 2X 16GB and added one 1X 32GB RAM. And my pc won't boot up now. i have tried alot of things.

Power supply - XFX XPS-850W
CPU - Intel core i9-11900KF-
GPU - 3080 TI
Motherboard- Intel Rocket Lake Z490

What are the 'lots of things' you have tried so we can attempt to find a solution without rehashing things you have already done.

• Tried every RAM slot
• I have tried to remove battery cmos -> click the power button 15 seconds

That's all what i remember doing.

I'm not sure if the motherboard is dead at this point

What CPU did you have in the motherboard you listed prior to the 11900KF?
When/before you swapped to the 11th gen, did you update the BIOS?

You state it did work, I am just trying to clarify in what configuration.

Have you tried RAM sticks other than what haven't worked in the system? What signs of life are you seeing?

11900KF, haven't changed the cpu at all.

I had re-installed windows recently. So i was updating the drivers etc. Before i tried to make the 4th ram work.

i haven't tried another RAM yet. I'm gonna try that out soon to see if the issue lies there

I tried with 2 other RAM sticks. It still has the same issue. The RAM slots must be broken.

Take the motherboard down, remove the cooler and CPU and check closely that none of the pins are bent?
