[SOLVED] New ram causing errors.

[Ashalanis]

I currently have two sticks of DDR4 2x8. Today, I had went out and bought an additional 16 gb of RAM. When I install the new sticks of RAM, I go into an endless boot loop. The light on my mobo is solid yellow next to the DRAM indicator. Any ideas on what to do?



What i've tried,

1. Reset CMOS.
2. Reset BIOS to defaults.
3. Tried just one stick of the new ram (Didn't work, and neither did the other)

My Components:
Mobo: Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming Motherboard
Old Ram: Corsair Vengeance 2x8
New Ram: PNY - Anarchy-X 16GB (2PK 8GB) 3.2GHz DDR4

Mixing different ram kits together sometimes can cause problems.
Lower ram frequency, increase timings, increase ram voltage (don't go over 1.35V for DDR4).
Command rate has to be set to 2T with 4modules.

Command Rate 2T? Where would I find this type of setting?

Try your new set of ram just by itself and make sure that works first. That's where I would start.

Already did that. See above under things I've already tried.

Gotcha, just saw that. If one module at a time isn't working and the ram is on your motherboard qvl, I would say it's doa.

I was able to find a setting for Command Rate N2, but not T2.

It's the numeric value that matters. It's either 1 or 2.
Usually it's called T1 or T2. Here N2 means the same thing as T2.

Also, one more question, you stated that mixing kits can get kinda iffy, isn't it kind of strange when I remove all of the old ram sticks and just use the 2 new ram sticks from the new kit in place of them and the PC still not posting? Wouldn't that rule out that as the issue?

Try with single module. Try it in all slots. May also need to perform cmos reset.
If system doesn't boot with it (in all slots), then the module is faulty (or you have killed it with ESD by handling it improperly).

I tried singling out each stick. The new ones don't work. The old ones work in the slots. I'm actually returning them and getting 2x16 gb ram sticks (same speed as well) from the same brand as the old ram stick.
