Hi all,
Today my new RAM arrived and upon installing, the PC simply lights up for 3-5 seconds, before everything switches off again and then the cycle just continuously repeats. When I put my old RAM in - as I have now - the PC is back to working just fine.
My current RAM is HyperX Fury RGB DDR4 3733mt/s 2 x 8GB and the new RAM I'm trying to install is Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR4 3733mt/s 2 x 16GB. My PC is a HP Omen using the Intel Z690 chipset with their BlizzardOC 8917 board, and I'm on the latest BIOS. I can't see any reason why the new RAM wouldn't be compatible or cause a problem. It's essentially a like for like swap, just more memory.
I've tried both new stick in slots 2 and 4 together, both in slot 2 separately and both in slot 4 separately, and it's the exact same issue every time.
EDIT:
Apologies, this specific issue is now resolved. It was overclocking being enabled in Omen Gaming Hub causing the issue. Once I switched that off, it worked and the PC boots as it should.
That said, I do have another related issue I've now noticed. Please see this post:
