I need some help with my PC. I have a B450M Steel Legend motherboard and was previously using a single stick of Asgard 8GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM. Today, I decided to upgrade to two new Corsair Vengeance LPX sticks (2x16GB, also DDR4 3600MHz). After installing them in slots A2 and B2, my PC powers on but there's no display. It stays on for about 40 seconds before going into a constant on/off loop. I tried putting the original RAM back in, but I'm still getting the same issue with no display. Did I do something wrong? I'm really at a loss here!

It might just need time for memory training, which can be a bit unnerving if you're not familiar with it. Try stepping away from the system for a while and give it some time to sort itself out. It can take a bit longer with new RAM sticks.
Yeah, that sounds about right! Just let it do its thing and it should hopefully settle down. But make sure you don't freak out if it looks like it's taking forever!
If that doesn't work, consider removing the RAM entirely and clearing the CMOS. After that, reinstall the RAM. If you're still facing issues, it might be a good idea to return the Corsair RAM and try a different brand.
How do you clear the CMOS though? I’m not familiar with that process.
Should I leave both sticks in while it trains, or do I need to just have one stick in there? I want to make sure I’m doing this right!
