Monitor Doesn’t Receive Signal After Installing new RAM
Ok so it’s a little more complicated than that. I’m not really that knowledgable on custom built PC’s but I recently bought more RAM because my computer had Patriot Viper Elite (2 X 4GB) 2666MHZ DDR4 Ram. I upgraded to Patriot Viper Steel (2 X 8GB) 3000Mhz DDR4. I did my research and as far as I know, this RAM is compatible with my mother board.
My motherboard is an AsRock B450M-HDV R4
It has 2 DIMM slots and this is where my confusion begins. So i spent all night trying to install my new RAM and getting my pc to work and everything.
I first installed both the RAM sticks but my pc turned on but the monitor wouldn’t receive a signal.
I tried everything
- blowing out dust from DIMM slots & Ram sticks
- switching up the position of the RAM sticks in the DIMM slots
-pushing them in harder
I then tried to use only one stick. I kept the one on the left in and tried... it didn’t work. I tried the one on the right and voila it worked. Im new with this stuff and all the “dual channel” “2/4 DIMM slots” “RAM kit” stuff confuses me. Doesn’t anyone know what the problem could be?
