heey everyone,

so a friend of mine gave me his old ram,( 4 time 4GB ddr 3 1600 mhz).
when i replaced them with my old ram ( 2 time 4 GB DDR 3 1600 MHZ) it dint wanne boot.
so after swapping around with the ram i found out that it would only booth with 2 ram stick in.
as soon as i added 1 more or removed 1 i would not boot any more no sound singal( the beeb) notting.

after updateing my bios, cleaning out the ram slots with comprest air, puttening my bios back its defualts(i had it overclock), i was still stuck with the same issue.

i read online on a forum that taking out your mb battry and holding the power button, ent then putting everything could fix the problem.

but that made my problem evern worse.
now when i swithc on the power on my powersupply my pc starts, my fans start spinning on its max.
1 fan doesnt spin nor the LED light up. and it doenst boot, and my normal power button on the front of my pc doesnt shut it down.

the only way for me the stop my pc is to use the power switch on my powersupply.

PLS HELP.

lennart.

PC SPECS.
MB: MSI 970 gaming AM3+
CPU: AMD 8350
VCARD: MSI GTX 960
powersupply: croscair 650M

PS: i did putt back my old ram en try to start but i still have the same problem

little update: removed all the ram to see of it wil give a error becouse there is no ram in there.
it those not give any error code, so i gues it not even trying to boot.

thanks,
took everythink off that is not needed, still dint wanne boot,
now i also jumped the cmos, and that seem to have on the trick.
it boot up normal now but only if i have 2 ram slots filled.
if i only have 1 ram or more then 2 it stops booting again.

so i guees i can close this post, becouse for some weird reson i cant not explain it just accepts my 4 ram now.
but i wil tell what i have done.

so after i fix the problem where my pc dint wanne even load the bios or anything.

i put the too old ram in my pc with 2 of the new ram, just becouse i wanned to experiment around, after i did that my pc asked me to use defualt or the let me set up the bois settings so i did, and it worked.

then i switch out my 2 old ram for the other 2 of the ram i got from my friend, and it just worked.

soo i dont know why, i quess i had to trick my pc in to accepting the new ramXD

meaby some day any one can use this post i hope so at least.

thank @ norcalsc for takeing out time to anwser.
