I'm having trouble booting my PC after trying to install both of my new RAM sticks. Whenever I attempt to use both sticks, the system won't even get to the BIOS. I've experimented with all the AXMP and EXPO profiles, but no luck at all. Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI (MS-7E51)
- RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB DDR5 6000
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor
If you need any more details, just let me know!

If you do set it to AXMP, yeah, just let it sit and run for a while. It's like a calibration process that they often forget to mention in the manuals.
It sounds like the RAM profiles you're using might not be stable with your setup. Sometimes certain RAM just doesn't play nice with specific motherboards, and that's kind of a gamble you take. It's a bit of RNG, honestly.
What specific memory kit did you buy? And have you updated your BIOS recently? You might also want to try booting with just one RAM stick first and then add the second stick once you confirm it's stable.
Your motherboard might be undergoing memory training after you install new RAM. It would be good to let it run through that completely. They should honestly warn you on the box not to turn it off during that process!
The part number is KF560C30BBEK2-32. I updated the BIOS using MSI Center, but it didn't help. One stick works fine, but adding the second one just won't boot. Whenever I try AXMP or EXPO with one stick, it fails, and I end up having to clear the CMOS repeatedly.
