[@PulsarTECH]

Hi ROHIT GAMING, sounds like your BIOS settings might have been messed up. Try to reset your BIOS to factory default settings. The easiest way to do it is by removing a pile size battery on the motherboard. Touch something metal before doing it to avoid any shortages from static electricity.

Sir, I have tried it, also tried by replacing pill size battery with the new one, but it didn't work

PulsarTECH before when it’s didn’t work I a little move ram and turn on pc sometimes freeze! But after so many times I move it ( I mean when it’s was in socket ! Just with finger I touch and move it) it’s detected but no one of them I do everything but not work more ! But ram is alive and work in other socket ( I mean all ram work)

[@PulsarTECH]

@@SilentXwraith by how you're describing it, it definitely seems like one of the slots on your motherboard is either defective from factory or broken. What I would suggest take all the ram out and try just one module at a time in different slots. See if all the slot are working.

Max memory on this mobo is 16gigs of ram so this cant be the problem, and the single sided 4gb module is working in other PCs just not in mine....

[@PulsarTECH]

@@kingketodaily in this case the issue is not with the max supported memory but rather with memory compatibility. As you know memory has what's called CAS latency, if it differs from one stick to another it may not work properly on the motherboard. Usually memory is bought in pairs of 2 or 4. But anyway, your memory still might work, try to reset the BIOS on your motherboard by removing a small battery for a few seconds. Hopefully this will help! Let me know how it goes!

[@samuelgraham616]

Similar problem both sticks work fine by themselves or in a1 a2, but unrecognised in b1 or b2

[@PulsarTECH]

@@samuelgraham616 due to the chipset behavior you need to follow a certain pattern when installing your memory on the motherboard. Usually, if you have 4 memory slots available, you need to install in A2 first, or A2 and B2 if you have 2 memory sticks. But it all depends on the manufacture of the motherboard. Refer to your manual for the proper pattern. Usually, that's all it is. Let me know how it goes.

[@samuelgraham616]

@@PulsarTECH ​ The manual says for dual channel slots A2 + B2 followed by A1 + B1, A1 + B1 = B1 not recognised in bios, A2 + B2 = B2 is not recognised, A1 +A2 = not dual channel both sticks recognised, 1 stick in B1 or B2 pc will not post, both sticks in B1 + B2 pc will not post. So only two slots (channel A) works channel B does not, and the ram sticks both works in channel A so they're not faulty. I am assuming the motherboard is faulty. The pc does give a memory pmu training error when a stick is installed in channel B, so it "knows" its there just not seeing it in bios.

dude the ram I recently bought is shorter than my old ram which is taller (the height not length) I bought ddr3 1333mhz 4gb (old ram was same but 2gb) which should support by my motherboard (Ipisb cu) when i added it, my pc started beeping. It won't turn on if it beeps. I was running 32bit which should not work if i combined 4gb with 2gb but I have tried using 4gb ram (the new one) only but still didn't work. Do you know the cause of the beeping and how to fix it? Does the beep indicate the ram isn't working or my pc cannot run it? I really don't know and need some help.

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi, yes if you hear a beep it's indicating that something is wrong with the system. There are certain beep codes for each error. The codes should be in the manual. But since you have changed only the RAM then it's probably the problem right there. First, make sure the RAM is installed properly, and I mean you should hear a click or be sure that it is 100% installed in the slot. Then also if you have more than 2 slots and more it's gotta be positioned as in the manual of the motherboard. Then if still doesn't work, reset the BIOS. If still doesn't work, check and see if the RAM is supported by your motherboard. Hope this will help! Let me know how it goes!

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi Praveen, can you please write down your motherboard's model, CPU and memory manufacture brand and size? 1066 Mhz is normal, your motherboard doesn't run your memory at its top speed usually. 1600 MHz on this particular RAM can be achieved by enabling XMP profile in BIOS or manual overclocking. But right out of the box it wouldn't run at top speed.

Love your videos so clear and to the point. Thanks! I have the same problem as Christian Parcero (11 months ago) tried what is suggested and still have a problem. If you have time I would really appreciate any help you can give! I have upgraded my Windows 10 HP Desktop RAM to 2x8gb in the 2 slots available. Memory only shows I have 1 slot with 8gb! I have moved the RAM around and both work in 1 slot but not the other. So the new RAM is good. Replaced the CMOS battery. Still no result. Don't think the slot is faulty as it was a simple swap. It's driving me crazy - I had 12gb and now I only have 8gb! How do I get my RAM to be recognized in the other slot? Seems to be a common problem with upgrading. My details are - HP Envy 750-409 Desktop Intel i5-6400. 2.70 GHz. Upgraded with Kingston HyperX Fury Dual Channel Kit 2x8GB DDR4. Board is HP 828A. Bios AMI F03. Thanks so much for any insights you may have. Justin

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi Justin, sorry for the late response. Have you got it figured out yet? If not, then here's what I have to say. Unfortunately, that is a common problem with many pre-built PCs like HP, Dell and others. As they are using mostly OEM components in their pre-built machines, they buy them bulk and they are more limited and designed to work with fewer components than retail products (for example they have bios and driver support for certain memory, drives and so on). This is because it's cheaper for them and they want you to pay extra for their tech support and buy only products that they sell, very common practice with OEM companies. This being said, before you upgrade any of the components, please contact HP and get a list of compatible upgrades for this particular PC. Sometimes they list it on the website but I couldn't find it. According to their website, specs for supported memory are: Dual channel (one DIMM per channel) memory architecture Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets Supports up to PC4-17000 (DDR4-2133) Supports 4 GB and 8 GB UDIMMs Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems Supports up to 16 GB (unbuffered) on 64-bit computers. I'm pretty sure your memory slot it fine. Unfortunately, from the memory info, you provided I can't say what frequency it is, CAS latency, buffered/unbuffered? Do you know the full model number? Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes!

Hi sopa, according to the manual for your motherboard 3 short beeps mean "memory not detected", so you're definitely going in the right direction. Was the old module working fine before you took it out? If yes, then I think your RAM probably not installed right 100%. Check this first, there are 2 latches on DIMM slot, you need to align memory module with the slot and press firmly, but evenly until it seats correctly. You should hear it click. Try with the old RAM if it's fine and let me know how it goes.

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi The Raging, first question: when you swap memory sticks, does it detect only 1 stick in the same slot? Try installing only one stick at a time in the same slot to make sure both RAMs are working. Then do the same procedure with another slot. Let me know if they both slots and RAM are functioning. Also need to know what CPU you have. Since AMD motherboards support different generations of CPUs, there's a different support list for each one. We will need to check memory compatibility on the QVL-list as well. But first try testing the RAM and slots on the motherboard. Let me know! Cheers!

When i only have a ram stick on the right slot (2nd one), it works fine, when i have both ram sticks it works fine too. What bugs me is that on settings-> system information it says memory: 16gb (7.95gb usable). So it does detect both sticks but just doesnt want to use the stick mounted on the first slot.

​@@x3ni487 yea, it sounds like that left DDR4 slot isn't functioning properly because when you install one module in it, the computer doesn't boot at all, but when you have 2 modules, the computer boots but only ~8Gb is showing. I think it's only detecting it and can read the specs of the RAM in the left slot but it doesn't work as it should. On the motherboards with only 2 slots of memory available, there's no priority and the RAM should work in either one. How long did you have this motherboard? Are you building a new PC rig?

My original memory works fine, but it's only an 8gb stick. Does motherboard BIOS version matter? If so, the Bios Version is version 3.20 which was released in January of 2018. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already liked this video and subscribed to your chanel. Thanks

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi FancyMasks.com, this is the most thorough information you provided 👍 thanks and thank for subscribing as well. Your motherboard does support 16Gb per memory stick, but I have checked the Memory QVL list and that model is not on there. www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A320M/index.asp#MemoryPR However, this doesn't mean it not going to be supported by your computer at all. 3 beeps mean a Memory error. I think it's your BIOS that needs to be updated, but since you have an older processor, don't update it to the latest version and before you do that let's try a few other things. I assume that you use only 1 stick and not a new one and an old one together. That might cause the issue. First, make sure that you insert the RAM all the way, you should hear a click on both sides and then close the latches. Sometimes it takes good force to make them click. Make sure they are aligned right and try to press evenly. If it still doesn't work try to put it in a different slot. Also if you have access to another computer I would test the memory to make sure it's not defective from the factory or something. Try these first and let me know if it works for you!

[@PulsarTECH]

I would only update your BIOS to version 5.30, because newer versions are not recommended for older processors.

[@FancyMaskscom]

@@PulsarTECH Thank you for taking time to answer the questions. I will have discuss updating the BIOS with my wife since it has a slim chance of bricking the machine. This is our only non-chromebook PC in the home, and with x-mas coming up we don't have any room in the budget if something goes wrong. For now, I'll just leave the memory on my desk and wait until we feel comfortable with the risks. The computer is pretty slow at the games we play, but slow beats non-functional every day. Cheers

Make sure to touch something metal prior to this to discharge any static electricity that might be on your fingers. Please let me know how it goes. Cheers 👍

The owner of the video I might need some help so I have 16 GB of ram there’s two dims in each of them or 8 GB each now at first I didn’t do a thing when you told me too I didn’t push down on him like I locked it they put it in there locked him so I don’t know I don’t know if it fully clicked in there but it’s only showing 4 GB and that’s not supposed to happen unless I got ripped off by the company and there’s only 2 GB per dim and then in that case if you want to know the brand they’re called to thank team group or something like that but it’s supposed to be 16 GB for two of them anyway if you know how to help me please get in contact with me on this KZbin thing thank you

Hi, if you have a 32-bit Win then it supports maximum 4GB, I think this is what happen. You need to install a 64-bit operating system and then it will recognize all 16GB.

Please help me fix the problem. My PC was giving an F1 error so I changed the CMOS battery but the windows didn't get started and someone told me to clean the rams. I cleaned them and now after putting them back my PC isn't even displaying something and there are beep noises. Please help me with what to do now?

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi, It could be that your RAM isn't installed into the proper memory slots or maybe it's not fully inserted. What kind of motherboard and RAM do you have (model and quantity)? We will have a look first at the manual for proper install configuration. What kind of beep noises does it make??

[@anonymous-wd2yw]

@@PulsarTECH issue was in the ram, I fixed it. Now it's not making noises but it's still not booting. I changed the CMOS but isn't booting, It stucks at the Microsoft logo and restarts. I'm using old dell Optiplex

[@PulsarTECH]

@@anonymous-wd2yw try to press F8 button when you see the Microsoft logo and then choose to boot in a safe mode. Let me know if this works!

You have a strong gpu

[@PulsarTECH]

Yea, it's working great, thanks! And being water-cooled, temperatures never rise too high, so that actual GPU, VRM, PCB and other components don't deteriorate as fast. But if you're not overclocking it honestly it doesn't matter. It just stays quieter than air-cooled.
