I bought some new ram to finally go from 8gb of ram to 16, and when I plug it in, my pc doesnt boot. putting in one of the two sticks does nothing, and it wont boot at all until both of my old sticks of ram are in, and will also not boot if i put the new ram in the two remaining slots along with my old ram.
I have a MSI B450 Tomahawk
Ryzen 5 5600g
2080 Super
the old ram is some tforce 3000mhz 8gb kit, the new is 16gb of g skill ripjaw 3200mhz
preferably id like to find a solution so fire away any suggestions but i tried quite a few combinations of things and im starting to think the ram just came in defective but i really dont wanna have to ship it back because thats a lot of work where i live and also itd take a long time for a replacement to come in
just hoping someone more knowledgeable than me knows some magic solution that i dont lol
also also in the bios my computer wont boot in uefi (i think thats what it is) and i have to go into the windows boot option thing and do the legacy boot mode to get it to go into windows idk what thats about if someone can explain that but no worries about that one thats just a lil side thing
