Why won’t my PC boot to BIOS after upgrading RAM?

Asked By TechyNinja42 On

I recently upgraded my RAM from one 16GB stick at 2400MHz and two 8GB sticks at 2666MHz to two 16GB sticks at 3200MHz on my system which has a Ryzen 4600G and a B450M Aorus Elite v1.0 motherboard. I've tested all the RAM sticks in other systems and confirmed they work perfectly. However, when I only have the 3200MHz RAM installed, my PC powers on but doesn't even reach the BIOS. Interestingly, if I use either the 2400MHz or 2666MHz RAM, the system operates without any issues and recognizes both new 3200MHz sticks. I'm looking for solutions to get the PC to boot with the new RAM configuration. Just to mention, I've reset the BIOS by removing the battery, but haven't tried using different RAM slots yet, or resetting the BIOS without the RAM installed.

You might want to try using just one stick of your new 3200MHz RAM and see if it boots. If it does, set the voltage to 1.35v and adjust the speed to 2700MHz to see if that helps. If it boots successfully, then you can try adding the second stick and gradually increase the speed. It's possible that your motherboard just needs a little tweak to recognize the new sticks properly. Good luck!

I attempted this, but unfortunately, it didn’t start the BIOS.
