Hi all,
Built a new PC a few months back. Took me a while to get it to boot when it was first built.
The issue I had was that it would boot just fine with one RAM stick plugged in, but not with both.
I tried swapping out the sticks and they would both work independently, in various slot combinations, but not together.
The workaround I found at the time was to boot to BIOS with 1 stick, enable XMP, then it would boot with both sticks.
However, more recently, my PC stalls when booting, cycling between the CPU and DRAM warning lights several times before finally posting.
I've tried updating the BIOS, reseating the CPU and RAM and cleaning the components.
I'm wondering if there is something else I should configure in the BIOS or if this sounds like a hardware issue?
I haven't overclocked anything or changed anything else in the BIOS except the aforementioned XMP.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!
