Question Solve this mystery: Dual channel RAM disable displayport

[McLovinHawaii]

Alright.. This one is beyond me. Whenever I run my RAM (2x 8GB HyperX Fury) in dual channel.. I lose contact to my monitor (XG248Q) through displayport.

RAM block 1 in channel A - RAM block 2 in channel A = No signal from displayport
RAM block 1 in channel B - RAM block 2 in channel B = No signal from displayport
RAM Block 1 in channel A - RAM block 2 in channel B = Signal from displayport

How is RAM even remotely connected to my displayport?

no display or it didn't boot?
so it no signal when you run on only 1 channel?

It might be the ram is unstable causing the system to crash, causing you to lose monitor signal, this would happen with every output tho.

The system boots but the monitor goes black and shows no signal from displayport. Running 1 channel as dual and there's no signal. Running 2 channels and there's signal

How do you know it boots? Do you see it boot on the monitor and then monitor goes black?

 

[McLovinHawaii]

If I connect the monitor through HDMI I get a signal. It's only a displayport issue

Now this is one i have never heard of.

That's exactly where I'm at. This is beyond what I've ever experienced before. I could understand if the dual channel crashed the system due to whatever might be faulty.. but it only seems to disable displayport.

Run the system over HDMI and run Memtest86. This will make a test to see if the ram is stable. Free & safe download:https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
List all of your system specs including motherboard model, exact ram kit, speed and CAS latency, and CPU. List what settings you are trying to run your ram at, including speed, latency, and voltage.
It may be necessary to update your bios, change your xmp settings, or reset CMOS.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks

Keep in mind this program runs off of a bootable USB drive so you will need an empty USB stick, as setting up the USB drive requires formatting all data from the drive.
If you need help, you could scroll down and follow method 2 in this wikihow: https://www.wikihow.com/Test-PC-RAM-with-MemTest86

So I did the memtest86+ and running seperately there were no errors. Also no errors on each stick if ran seperately. On dual in both A and B slots, everything goes bonkers.

What speed is your ram running at and what is it rated for. Id reset your cmos and update bios.
