Hi guys, so recently my pc has been struggling to keep up with some of the code projects i have been working on as they are both CPU and ram intensive. I built my pc about 3 years ago with the intention of keeping it relatively new for a few years, so i knew this day would come. Iv been needing to upgrade and today I decided Id do so. My current specs are ryzen 5 2600 with a 1060ti and then a tomahawk b350 mobo and 16 gb of ram. I am upgrading my ram to 32 GB. which all show in my boot menu and settings, but still only says i have 16gb useable, but my issue lies when i set my new CPU. The MSI website says the tomahawk b350 supports the ryzen 7 5800x, but doesnt specify how many ram channels it supports.
So whats happening. When i have the CPU in and put 1 stick of ram from either my new kit or old kit, it boots. If i put any more than 1 in it turns on but does not post. Iv tried letting it sit for 30 mins but with no luck. Someone mentioned it could be a bad CPU, but im thinking its more of my board does not support the r7 5800x with 4 channels or ram. Does anyone know for sure?
