Question Pc not booting up with 2 sticks of ram.

[SaifCho419]

Hello. So I need some help with my pc. Yesterday I went into the bios to change the speed from 2133 MHz to 3200mhz. My ram is compatible with this speed. It’s the Corsair vengeance rgb pro 2x8gb. Now after I did this I hit save and reset and when it reset it left me on a black screen. So I reset cmos and the jumper cables and nothing happened. Then I tried with only one stick of ram and it turned on. All slots are working but the 2nd ram stick won’t work whenever I put it in it won’t boot and on the motherboard there’s a orange light on the dram CPU but idk what that means. And my fans used to be super quiet and now there loud when windows boots up. Please help!!!

What model motherboard and CPU and full memory set model? And if your board is a B450 check the QVL for memory compatibility.

And this all happened after I went from 2133 to 3200mhz the fans and ram were fine before I changed the speed

How do I get a screenshot of the cpu-z motherboard section? I barely know anything about PCs. And how do I check what motherboard I have

Did you use XMP or DOCP? Or did you just change the frequency to 3200mhz?

I used docp because I have a ryzen cpu.

my pc is up and running but my second stick of ram won’t work and I know the ram is perfectly fine because it worked before I changed the MHz

Change ram frequency back.

 

[SaifCho419]

Change ram frequency back.

I tried restarting bios to default which set it back to 2133 but that didn’t do anything. What should I do from here

I have the asus rog strix b450-f gaming motherboard

Can you make a photo of, how ram is installed on your motherboard?

It should be installed in slots A2 and B2.

As of now to make it boot up successfully I only have 8, but I wanted my 16 which originally worked before I changed the MHz of the ram

Yes it is installed in a2 and b2 but when I install the 2nd stick the dram light turns orange and system doesn’t boot. When I use one then no light and it boots fine. I tried the one that works on a2 and b2 and both slots work fine. But there’s no way that my second stick of ram is messed up because it worked just fine before I changed the MHz. Is there a bios setting I need to do?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Install second ram module in a2 and try to boot with only it installed.
If system doesn't boot, then module is dead.
Ram module can die, if handled improperly. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can do it.

Yes the 2nd ram module doesn’t boot. I think it’s dead. Both of the 1st module work in A2 and B2 but the 2nd one doesn’t work in either.

Can you help me quiet my fans? I tried ram tuning and everything but there still loud. They were never loud before everything went bad

Did you overclock your cpu?

 

[SaifCho419]

Did you overclock your cpu?

I’m not sure I did. All I change was from auto to docp 3200 that’s all i did. If I did happen to oc cpu how do I check?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Changing ram frequency can slightly change cpu temperature. But this should not be anything significant.

What cpu temperatures are you getting?

Do I check that in bios? If so how? Oh yea I forgot to mention my fans are very quiet when booting the computer up but as soon as i load into windows it becomes very loud
