Question One of Two Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8GB RAM Sticks does not work anymore.

[Kreckelneckel]

Dear community,

After 4 Years of use, one of my two Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8GB RAM Sticks "stopped" working. It all started with my Asus ROG b450 f Motherboard which prevented from Booting by throwing out the beep code for RAM Error (one long, two short). Both RAM Stick's RGB light turns on when turning on the PC and they both keep lighting like usual. But when trying around if it's the RAM Slots or either the RAM itself, I found out that the problem is made by one of my two RAM Sticks. The RAM Stick has no flaws exept from one little scratch which was already there years ago. All pins look great and there are no scratches on them. My Questions are:

Is it normal that a brandnew RAM Stick stopps working after 4 Years?

Is it really broken if the RGB light still works fine?

I hope you can help me or atleast give me clarity.

Normal? Not really, but it does happen.

Contact Corsair. This is likely under warranty.

Corsair ram will have a lifetime warranty.

Test each stick individually.
Run memtest86 or memtest86+
They boot from a usb stick and do not use windows.
You can download them here:

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

www.memtest86.com

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Memtest86+ is an advanced, free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for 32- and 64-bit computers (UEFI & BIOS supported)

www.memtest.org

If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.

Are both sticks from the same kit, or are they two individaul parts?
If they are both from the same kit, Corsair will replace them both.
Otherwise, they will replace only the defective stick.
