[SOLVED] Pc not working with 4 ram sticks

[AndrewLN930]

My pc works with two ram sticks installed but won’t display with 4. I’ve confirmed all four sticks work properly but it won’t display anything. Could this be a motherboard issue?

Please list pc spec. Are all 4 sticks from a single RAM kit or are you mixing kits?

I’m running a ryzen 7 3700x with a 2070 super on an msi x570 gaming plus and I’m trying to add four sticks of the Thermaltake tough ram

But did the RAM come from a single kit? Mixing RAM from different kits is not guaranteed to work, hence the question.

Ok there is no guarantee the kits will work together. With 4 installed can you even get into the BIOS?

Take a look at the odd man out section https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...y-ram-and-xmp-profile-configurations.3398926/

Even if the system did run when using 4 sticks you are more likely to have issues running higher speeds even if the RAM is rated at that speed. It’s generally recommended to get 2x16gb instead of 4x8gb on a dual channel motherboard.
