PC Only Boots With One Stick of RAM

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey everyone, hope you're all well.

I built my first PC the other day, and it only boots when one stick of RAM (16GB) is installed, other then that it runs perfectly.

When I try booting with two sticks of ram (2 x 16GB), the CPU and DRAM LEDs on the motherboard flash.

I've tried reseating them and resetting the CMOS, but nothing works.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello ryandh,

Couple of questions if I may;

Do both sticks of RAM work when inserted separately, if yes, have you tried each stick of RAM in more than one slot.

When trying the two sticks of RAM together, what slots on the MB are you using.

Do you have the latest BIOS for the MB which is version 7C79v11
