Motherboard - RAM problem

[izghitu]

Hi,

I have one new Asus Prime X370-PRO Socket AM4 motherboard and ADATA XPG DDR4 2666 2x4GB RAM.

THe problem I am facing is that the Motherboard will not boot with the RAM. I tried some other RAM on the motherboard and it works fine. I also tried the ADATA RAM on another motherboard and it worked fine as well. Just the 2 will not work together although the motherboard specs say that it is compatible with 2666 MHz RAM.

Does anyone have any ideas about if I am doing something wrong?

Please help. Thanks!

Ryzen boards are very picky about RAM - they may refuse to work with any RAM not on motherboard QVL list, even when you have 100% working sticks.

So there's nothing I can do about it? perhaps apply a bios patch or something?
Please let me know

Thanks

Try updating BIOS of board.

My ROG B350F would boot with its ram but only at 2133 mhz speed until I updated bios and then could run it at full 3000 mhz

BIOS update possibly could help - but you would need a RAM stick that already works with your motherboard to apply it.

Thanks, I have used my friend's RAM to boot it and updated the BIOS to the latest. It started working after that. Problem solved.
