I have bought a brand new 64GB kit (4x16) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz F4-3200C16Q-64GVK.
Config that I use is: ASUS Prime X370 Pro with Ryzen 1700X
As my CPU and old RAM (Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 16GB (2x8)) were overclocked I reset BIOS to defaults, even updated BIOS later, but the problem is still the same.
By trying different combinations of stick one at the time, 2 at the time 3 and 4 at the time even putting them in different sockets I came to the conclusion that one stick is not working.
When I plug fault stick alone in any socket I get the "Black Screen" and MB beeps "No memory installed".
When I plug fault stick with 1,2 or 3 other memory sticks I get an only black screen and no sound.
When I don't use that fault stick and plug 1,2 or 3 stick alone or together everything works fine.
I have tried to OC with automatic XMP to 3200 MHz 3 sticks together - that didn't work , but I think that could definitely OC it manually.
I need to mention that BIOS is on default and no XMP or any other RAM or CPU OC is applied.
Before I ordered RAM I checked compatibility on official MB and RAM manufacturers and also on different forums. I came to the conclusion that it will definitely work with my MB and CPU. I even asked if the seller can get me Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz 128GB (4x32) kit because I saw a post confirms that it works with ASUS Prime X370 Pro and Ryzen 7 1700X.
Now I'm having a hard time convincing a seller that problem is with RAM not with my MB or BIOS version.
This is not the first time I upgraded my PC, I have experience as a builder so I didn't damage the RAM by not installing it correctly.
The seller told me that he will try a memory kit on his MB X570 and B450 before he contacts his supplier and demands a new kit.
Does something similar happen to someone? Any advice on what to do?
