Color me shocked (and thankful)! I came here after trying to do a simple RAM upgrade by adding a new 16GB RAM stick to my Lenovo tower PC to bring it up to 32 GB. I have done this dozens of times on other PCs for myself and others with no issues. This time, however, the new memory card caused total boot failure with beeping and flashing error lights. Could not even get into BIOS. I reseated the new RAM module with the same result. I swapped the old and new RAM in the original slot and the new RAM worked perfectly. I swapped slots with the old and new RAM with both plugged and hard fail again. At this point, I started searching for help and found this video. It was concise and well done but I thought it was redundant to what I had already done. Then I read the comments and person after person reported that the compressed air fixed the problem. Being the "wise, old" person that I am, I discarded this info since this PC is very clean and I have NEVER had dust cause a RAM slot failure in almost 40 years of PC build and repair work. BUT, I am not totally STUPID and I am capable of learning so I thought maybe it's worth a try. I actually did not have a compressed air can but used a camera lens air bulb to puff some air into the slot. To my amazement, this simple procedure did fix the issue. There must have been the tiniest spec of dust in that 2nd slot and it caused the error even after multiple plugging and replugging. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to post this video and teach an old dog a new trick.
Here’s something that can change your way of life or thinking. This is the most important thing you will hear/read today. If you’ve told one lie, stolen anything, or lusted (which is adultery of the heart), you’ll be found guilty on Judgment Day and end up in Hell. But there’s good news: Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus, the prophesied Messiah, perfectly kept the Law, fulfilling all righteousness. He paid the fine for sinners ( that we could never pay ) by suffering and dying on the cross-absorbing the wrath of God that we deserve. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. Today, repent and trust Jesus; God will grant you forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. God bless God Bless
@@jrmartinez1354Nice I’m going to ask Jesus to help diagnose if my issue is with the PSU compatibility or the DIMMs being seated correctly with no dust in the slots.
I had the same issue when I went from 16 to 32gb of ram. Take your CMOS battery out and hold down the power button to your PC for about a minute or so. That, or bridge the two pins with something metal like a screwdriver. With all sticks of RAM installed, put the CMOS battery back in, and start it. This fixed my issue. OR Try to disable the XMP in bios using the old sticks, then install the new Sticks, then re-enable XMP.
So after checking if each 4 of my ram sticks work, checking the BIOS version, thinking its a power issue, struggling for 2 hours! all I had to do WAS BLOW ON IT???!!! Everything works now, thanks mate
What helped for me is cleaning the RAM sticks' gold contacts with alcohol and cotton. Before only 2 sticks would make my PC boot after applying that cleaning ,ethod it worked.

Im so stressed rn. I'm trying this tomorrow morning. Maaan, everytime i buy usedbit perfectly works in their place, then something goes wrong in my place. Feeling cursed.
I had two ram sticks installed for a long time wanted to install 2 additional sticks but the PC would always turn off after a few seconds and turn on by itself repeating the process. I narrowed the problem down to the first slot(at least I think so), and decided to only use 2 sticks, however now the PC does the exact same thing no matter how many sticks and which slots I use, any advice? I desperately need it
Try looking into the settings for the RAM in the BIOS, if you can get to it. If not, try resetting the CMOS (you take the coin battery out of the board temporarily and then add it back, I don't have a tutorial on this yet but you can look it up)
@@AyCartii If after a RAM installation, your computer started beeping/looping/failing to boot, that means something's wrong, either at least one of the modules and/or slots are bad, typically. In the BIOS, though, underneath wherever the RAM settings are, you can check the timings and speeds it is set to. Make sure they're the same as your RAM's manufacturer's specifications. If they're different, this can lead to boot failures.
@@Torqcx Well thank you for your quick response, the problem is that I don't get that far. It just turns of and starts again, can't get into the boot menu. I assume the motherboard is the problem but it worked just fine before I tried just one stick in slot 1, now any combination isn't working
@@G-DizzleDon Try clearing the CMOS, this is done on the physical board itself which manually resets the BIOS's settings and preferences back to default. After doing so, try again with just one module of RAM at a time. It sounds like the timings and/or speeds may have changed when the new module(s) were installed, but one of them perhaps isn't playing nice with the others.
If you had higher frequency ram before, you might wanna get one stick and boot into bios and then look at the new ram's frequency and change it. That was my issue and i got that solves
Are there any other possible causes for this ram boot-up failure besides these ones? Like for example, having multiple antivirus installed and running in the pc?
I've never heard of software of any kind causing a failure to boot, as software being loaded requires the OS it is installed on to be loaded initially.
I've tried upgrading to 2 x 16gb 3200 ram sticks. I had 2 x 8gb 3200 in, I tried having all 4 in, wouldnt boot. Tried just the 16s, wouldnt boot. went back to the 8s booted fine. replaced the 16s and tried again and it wouldnt boot even with 1 stick. both sets are same brand and same clock speed. corsiar vengence pro rgb DDR4. the 8gb work in all 4 slots but the 16s not in any.
It's always recommended to take all the necessary precautions before making adjustments to your system's hardware, but that being said, I've been guilty of my laziness overcoming me and leaving the power cable plugged in and/or the switch on while I performed certain installations.
To those who couldn't figure out was wrong here's what worked for me: Do the dust cleaning, and if that doesn't work go into BIOS and turn on/off XMP. Now boot with the new ram and BOOM. It worked for me.
I’m in a unique situation, all RAM works in each slot 1-3, 2-4 etc but PC won’t boot up if I put the extra 2 sticks in. Will boot with 2 but not 4…I don’t understand it.
If none of them are working in any of the other slots, most likely the slots are faulty. If cleaning them out didn't help, it may be time to replace the board.
Clear your motherboard's CMOS (there's usually a jumper and coin battery you'll have to unplug and replug, but you'll have to look at your motherboard and/or it's manual to find where they're located). Afterward, plug back in the old RAM and go from there
it was the dust... I panicked after cleaning my pc and it won't turn on, I tried brushing the ram stick and there it goes, a cloud of dust formed and after installing it, it worked LMAO
@@hamdighost I blew compressed air into all 4 slots, and I wiped with 90% isopropyl alcohol and they still are having issues.. 2 are working fine, but my other 2 are not, and we've tried everything so I'm kind of at a loss :/
Helpppp. I have AMD and my display only works if the original stick of ram is installed with the one stick of the new one but if it's both new one's it doesn't work...
Quick question, i installed two RAM sticks, and now my main SSD/local disk has lost some free space it was 115gb free now it's 90gb free i suspect it's the new Ram(s) that are taking the Vram space? Can we allocate them into my hardisk, the other local disks instead of the main memory? Hopefully i am clear? Thank you.

I have a b550 ds3h motherboard and im trying to get g.skill tridentz to work 2x16gb dual channel. My old ram 2x8gb works flawless in any slot. The new ones will only work single rank in b2 (tested both sticks in this slot). Any other slot it won't boot at all despite the RGB turning on and trying to run it dual channel in B1/b2 makes the board beep 3 times. Tried everything except for compressed air.. would that really be it if my other memory sticks work just fine? Would appreciate some help
i have a asrock b450 or b550 motherboard. I removed some things from the pc to clean it , including the ram sticks , and now it boots up into bios . What do i do?
It sounds like at least one of the components you removed may be causing the failure to boot, but you can try re-seating everything and see if there was just a connection issue causing it.
This is what i did to get mine to boot well first off it already booted and worked fine before i added more ram so ik it was the ram i took it out booted back up but to get it to work with new ram i had to go into bios and turn off xmp then turn off computer install new ram after it booted into bios again turn xmp back on now everything works as should.
@@Torqcx yah that’s was also my thoughts as well but putting a new motherboard in resulted in same issue. Tested a buddies cpu and solved the issue though.
I’ve recently taken my pc apart to clean it and I had to take out a stick of ram in have more space to take out the heat sink and when I reinstalled the ram it won’t boot up but when I take it out it boots up fully? Have I done something wrong or has the ram just died?
It's possible the teeth of the RAM card became damaged, but I'd first start but blowing out the RAM slots in the motherboard. It's likely dust/debris got in there and is disrupting the contact between it and the module
@@Torqcx I did not expect that fast of a reply. Wow thanks. But after some troubleshooting it’s most likely the actual stick of ram itself as I moved a different stick into that slot and removed the one that I was having problems with and it boots up straight away so I either damaged it somehow or it was already a bit damaged when I got my pc. Edit: after looking at the stick of ram I saw a scratch on it. Is it possible that the scratch is the problem or is something different. Either way imma buy a new stick of ram but thanks for the advice. Edit 2: some how I have managed to get all ram sticks working again somehow. I guess they weren’t full inserted but they couldn’t go any further without damage. The last time I tried it all I did was give a little nudge/wiggle towards 1 direction and they all work now…. Tbh I have no idea what has happened and how I’ve fixed it but I thank you for your assistance.
I got this problem but dont know how to fix, I installed 32GB RAM (4 sticks) and use PC for hours then it suddenly restarted. From that moment I can't install more than 2 RAM sticks, if I do that the mainboard emit an orange light on DRAM sections. Been trying to fix for 2 days and still can't resolve the problem. Please help me. I'm using Asus B760 TUF and x4 HyperX 2666 8GB and I'm pretty sure the problem is not come from other parts. Thank you so much!!!
Very likely it's an issue with either the RAM modules or the slots they're in. If you've already blew out the slots for dust, reseated the modules, and reset the CMOS on the motherboard, there unfortunately isn't much left to do except troubleshoot whether it's the modules' or slots' fault. If any of the modules went bad, replacing them should solve the problem. If it's any of the slots, the motherboard would need to be replaced if you were otherwise unable to increase your RAM capacity with the one you currently have.
I just bought new 2x8 gb ram 3200mhz ( match with my cpu and motherboard for sure ) i tried a lot tutorials but i can't fix my black screeenwhen i put back my old ram 2x4 gb ram 2666mhz works good...what should i try ( i tried reseting bios and putting off cmos battery, not help ) ??
Try the modules one-at-a-time in each individual slot; if, in no matter what configuration any of them are in, the PC still fails to boot, that means either the motherboard is not compatible with those modules or they both happen to be faulty (though the latter is unlikely).
This shit happened to me over night. Cleaning the slots or switching the RAM sticks around doesn't seem to fix it. I assume both the RAM sticks just decided to die overnight for some reason?
Either that or the slots in the motherboard have died, that actually happened to me many years ago. You'll have to test each module in each individual slot to rule it out.
My pc used to work without issue, but since I returned from a trip, it began randomly experiencing boot failures (as in I could not even get into BIOS), but it would usually randomly work again after I do some random sh1t to it and restart a few times. But now it really can't boot no matter what. During my trip, the humidity levels back home was way high, to the point that the walls are wet. I think that may have caused some problems??? Also I bought a possibly sketchy new monitor with a possibly sketchy displayport cable. I heard that a faulty pin 20 can cause boot issues, but I still can't boot even after switching to hdmi so that can't be it right? The debug led on the motherboard indicates that it's the dram that's the problem, but idk. My motherboard is asrock b760m rs/ds wifi, ram is pny xlr8, gpu is rx6600.
You can also try resetting the CMOS, look up how to do that but basically you just take out the coin battery for a few seconds and put it back in. Often times this can fix BIOS/motherboard issues.
Comp wouldn’t boot up, but I could access bios. I changed everything to default & then windows started up. Then I went back into the bios and enabled XMP. Windows works fine now & it shows XMP enabled :)
So my new ram I got I have 2 slots in my mother Board. The old one had 1 ram module so I removed it and installed the 2 new ram modules and now my pc won’t turn on. But when I use the old one it works?
Try resetting the motherboard to its default settings before installing the new ones. Try clearing the motherboard's CMOS. Also of course try installing one of the new modules at a time to see if either of them are causing the issue.
@@Torqcx so I reset the cmos had the bios reset to default and tested each ram stick they both work but when they are both in they don’t work? Is there something I haft to enable?
So basically my problem is one of the slots is not working and every time I plug any kind of RAM stick in it the screen goes black I think the problem might be not from the motherboard but from the CPU itself because it has an accident, could it be that case.
I don't believe the CPU would cause an issue like that, it sounds like it is the slot in the motherboard, especially if you already attempted to clean it out
@@Torqcx I really hope what you are saying is exactly my case because if not I would be buying a whole motherboard and wasting the last bit of my money without actually fixing anything, maybe buying a motherboard with 4 or 8 slots will be reassuring to me, and sorry for mumbling so much I just want to know my problem and how to fix it, I really wish if there was some kind of program that tells you if the problem is from one component in your PC, anyway there is something that made me think the problem is not from the motherboard but from the CPU because when I plug the RAM stick in the second slot I don't just get a black screen the fan of my CPU doesn't start rotating either.
First try clearing your system's CMOS, I don't currently have a video on this but there are plenty of tutorials out there on how to do so. Basically you take your motherboard's coin battery out for a few seconds then put it back in, this will reset your BIOS (this will not affect your computers data, programs, files etc.). Troubleshoot from there.
I just built my pc all new parts but the ram will not working in proper slots and only 1 stick works in b2 and if i use the consair ram i just bought they work in b1and b2 but not where they supposed to work. And when i load up cant run any games it instantly crashes. Dram light is on motherboard when i try to put ram in any other slots
If after resetting the CMOS you still cannot get any of the RAM to work in those slots, the board may be defective. If you built everything new, you should be able to get it replaced.
Thanks but my issue is my DDR5 get stuck after restart, RMA'd my Ram kit got a new kit without explanation. Meets QVL mobo list and not sure why Expo 1 CL30 6000MHZ or Expo 2 CL 40 5600 doesn't work 🤔
My ASUS motherboard only likes the RAM that came with the board, 2 sticks of 1G that have cooling loops on top of them, sticks of 2G that work in other computers will not allow the computer to boot up, any ideas?
If the sticks (modules) that don't work are the exact correct specifications your motherboard specifies it can handle, and they work in other systems, try resetting the system's CMOS and try again with the modules. If you still don't get any luck, those modules may just not like that board.
For some reason, I couldn’t change anything in my Gigabyte Bios. But after I unplugged the battery for 20 seconds, with no power cable and turned on my PC with all 4 Ram blocks. It worked perfectly 🙂
I’ve had 16 gb for a while and tried to but 2 16 gb sticks in and it turned on but no display and flashing orange light on motherboard, switched it back and it worked fine idk what’s wrong with the 32 gb ram I just got.
I have two 8 GB ram cards, card 1 works in slot 1 and slot 2 and card 2 works in slot 1 and slot 2, but when put together the system won't boot up. Idk how to solve this. The cards are fine and work independently but when both cards are in it won't work
I had 2 ram sticks and my pc was working fine. I bough the exact same replica and put 4 in and now my pc starts but it dosent boot up. My cooler is to big to keep taking off and putting back on. Any ideas?
You would have to troubleshoot each individual slot and each individual module if you'd want to completely rule out what is causing the system to fail to boot. Unfortunately there isn't really another way to do this.
@@Torqcx i fixed it. i removed my large cpu cooler and i took each ram stick out and placed it back in one by one. i did this over and over again and on my last try i placed all 4 ram sticks in and told myself if it doesn't boot I'm finished trying and it booted up. I'm only worried if this over works my pc now. because my fans are spinning and making a lot more noise now that i have 4 ram sticks instead of 2. any idea why my pc is making more noise? Thanks for the help
@@libanarab5883 As long as your system can successfully boot with all the RAM, it shouldn't be overworking it; the fact that the fans sound louder now is a new one to me, though. Is it your heatsink fan(s) that sped up or your case fans? All-in-all though I honestly wouldn't sweat it, the system may just be attempting to compensate for the extra power it is now supplying to the additional hardware installed.
@@Torqcx hey man thanks alot for helping me out though. wish there were more people like u on the internet. fans arent as loud as i thought. maybe i was hearing things
Hi, I changed my CPU and when I attempted to boot up, I had a black screen. Changed and swapped the RAM and system would boot up if I removed the RAM out of slot 4, leaving 1 RAM stick in slot 2. When I powered off, put the RAM stick back in slot 4, along with the RAM stick in slot 2, it wouldn't boot up again. Any advice please?
First reset the CMOS (search up your motherboard on how to do it, basically you're just setting the BIOS back to default which should clear any errors that may have been brought up from the new installation). Then try each module out one-at-a-time in each slot to determine whether any of the modules or slots are bad.
How did you fix this issue? Currently having this problem. 2x8 16gb ram works but 2x16 doesn't. When I put only 1x16gb ram, it boots up again. It's weird.
need help when i put all 4 sticks of ram in my motherboard and set ram to 3200 pc don't boot it will reboot again and give me a pc boot failure when i set it to 2133 pc boots into windows and all 4 sticks runs fine. when I only put 2 sticks of ram in slots 2 and 4 pc would boot and ram would be at 3200 but with the two rams in pc only boots when rams at 2133. but all 4 sticks work in my other pc. do you think it's the motherboard.
Well , the problem for me that yesterday i removed the rams from my pc just to check them , and didnt place them correctly , and today i turned on the pc and it started to make a noise like an alarm so i turned it off and checked the rams and placed them correctly and got this problem in the video , i just tried to switch rams places and the pc worked again , thanks
You should turn off your PC properly, but afterward it's always a best practice to turn off your PSU switch and unplug it. Your files will be fine; cutting your computer's PSU from an electrical outlet will not affect anything in your software.
I bought 2 ram sticks for my pc and tried to install both and removed the old but now it won’t boot even up when I put the old ram stick in the same spot
Start by resetting your system's CMOS (every motherboard is a little different but you basically take its coin battery out for a few seconds and put it back in. Look up how to do this if you're unsure).
When I was installing my ram I accidentally pushed to hard it cut my finger and there was blood spit on the rams( the motherbored is fine), I don't know what to do about the rams now can someone help me
Using 4x16GB XMP 6400 won't work (long boots and blue screen crashes) so motherboards with 4 slots is pointless. Go 2x32GB in slot 2/4 if you want 64GB.
I was wudering my ram slots B1 and B2 do not work but my A1 and A2 do work so I was wundering if it is possible to change A1 ram slot to be B2 so that I can run dual channel
You can swap the modules around however you'd like but there isn't a guarantee you'll get dual-channel. If a slot is broken, unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done
After I installed call of duty my pc started running super slow and after a but it turns black and says no hdmi signal and when i try to play a game like roblox my ping is 70 which is good but there is so much input lag i also can’t even watch shows because it buffers i need help so if you read this please help!
Without more information, I cannot determine whether the issues you've been having are RAM-related or not. If you've already troubleshot the RAM and are still having the same issues, you will have to start testing out the other components and/or software. Good luck!
@@Torqcx I did some type of scan and it fixed it after i uninstalled cod! next time ill wait and buy more ram to get cod im just glad everything is good now but thank you for responding

I wouldn't boot after adding an extra 16GB of RAM(2x8). They were the same sticks but all 4 wouldn't run at XMP settings and I had to lower the speed. But I was also able to lower the latency as an offset.
It sounds like the system is turning on, but failing to boot. You can start troubleshooting by cleaning out all of the slots, trying each module in each individual slot one-at-a-time, etc.
I got a weird one to solve I bought new ram as an upgrade made sure everything is the same except the brand cause I couldn't find that same brand (old setup) if I use the old ram PC works just fine with the new ram I get to windows trying to boot up and then in blue screens everytime with a new error any ideas?
The issue I have is that pc turns on the 1st time i put ram in, it says 32gb now (31.1 usable). I play cs and stuff for 2-3 hours and then turned off pc. Next time I turned it on it doesn't boot, wtf.
Start by cleaning out all the modules and resetting the CMOS, see if that fixes anything. If you've correctly troubleshot everything and the error persists, the modules may have died.
I have a different problem, so basically my computer already has 2x8 gb ram and i got 2x16 gb ram, so i tried putting all ram inside and it worked but then froze and turned off, then i tried 40 gb ram snd did the same thing, then 32 gb ram and it also did the same thing, then 24 and it lasted for about 20 minutes then turned off, now i’m trying the new 16 gb ram alone and it still turned off, i’m about to try the 8x2 gb again and i will reply and tell you what happens.
No matter what i do it still wont turn on, this happened once before so i bought two brand new tforce 8 g ram cards and it fixed it for a little while. I wasnt getting full usage of them though, and my computer still said it was running at 8 gigs instead of 16, so i swapped the slots around after turning off the computer, and now it wont boot no matter where i put them. This is my first time ever owning and computer, and it is making me lose my mind. Please, how do i fix this?
The first step is to reset the CMOS (every board is a little different but generally there's a coin you have to take out for a few seconds, at least). This will reset the BIOS back to default settings (this will not change any of your programs or files). From there, try each RAM module individually in each slot, one-at-a-time (after blowing them out).
Here's another solution that worked for me but isn't anything physical. I upgraded from 2x8GB sticks 3200mhz to 2x16GB 3600mhz. I had to boot into the BIOS (Spam the DEL or F2 key during boot up) and enable XMP. Hope this helps someone else.
Just upgraded to 2x16gb from 2x8gb and my pc won’t open any games, or it will try and freeze where as before I could play all games perfectly??? Any ideas??
It sounds like at least one of the new modules are bad, so long as you're 100% sure they're both fully compatible with your system. A bold test would be to reinstall the OS and see if that fixes it, but honestly I would just try new modules.
Interesting. I solved such an issue simply by booting to BIOS, after my PC wouldn't boot up with my old RAM stick either and I had reinstalled the newly bought pair of 16 GB sticks. I still don't know WHY that worked, or why aren't any of the tutorials covering that trick. Sure, I hadn't secured the new sticks properly the first time, but after I had, it still wouldn't work before forcing it to BIOS. So much for the practicality of PC building 🙄. Now I'm afraid of further upgrades that I've had in mind.
PLEASE HELP‼️ I checked all my ram slots one by one and also checked all my ram sticks one by one everything works But when I put all four of them together then the system starts beeping and no display Help please Running any three ram sticks at one time in any of the slots work but as soon as I put 4 ram sticks the system starts crying
Try resetting the CMOS (I currently don't have a video on this, but basically you take the coin battery out of the motherboard for a few seconds then put it back in. This will not affect your system's programs or files).
Make sure you check each slot individually first, then start adding additional modules and see if there's either any specific slot that's not working or if it's a combination that is causing the failure.
Newbies said installing ram is the easiest one. But only professional knew how hard it can be. Pc wont boot, pc bsod suddenly and a lot. My advice, before upgrading or changing ram, set bios to default or reset the bios. Then turn off psu. Pull cmos battery. Pull the ram. Insert cmos battery. Insert 1 ram. Turn on psu. Go to bios. Set as default again. Turn off back. Then install the rest of ram. This is the safest way i can give. Because previous ram will left some memory. That is why some case it wont boot if we change the ram. The pc will be trap in loop. Make sure reset everything first.
I just wanted to upgrade my laptop ram to 8gb , I previously had a 4gb ram module and got an additional 4gb one. but the laptop is stuck in a boot loop.I tried everything nothing works. here's what i tried: 1) the hard reset 2) the cmos clearing 3) changing the slots 4) trying just one at a time and in different slots 5) cleaning up the motherboard and everything . yet still stuck . anyone got any advice ? thanks
Start by removing the RAM and cleaning the slots. If, after re-insertion, your system still doesn't boot up, clear the CMOS (I currently don't have a video on the topic but there are plenty you can watch here on TH-cam on how to do that), and try booting up again. If none of that solves the problem, troubleshoot each slot and each module, one-at-a-time, to determine whether any of the slots or modules went bad.
I need big help, so I took out my ram stick to see what brand it was then after about 10 minutes put it back in started my pc but all that happened is it spun up, didn’t boot, then the fans for the case and cpu stopped. Please Help.
@@Torqcx Update: Turns out I stuffed up the ram as I didn’t use gloves to take it out, not to worry though I was planning to get two sticks of 16 gb ram anyway.
@@Torqcx I was able to get it, instead of where the old ram sticks were, they needed to be in the other two slots. Which is weird because my pc booted up when the ram sticks were placed in the slots where the old ram was. It was when I restarted it that caused the issue. Now everything is working fine thanks for the video and the help and the fast reply :)
If after resetting the CMOS you still have no luck, with any module in any slot, the motherboard may be defective. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do other than replace the board, in that scenario.

I actually did not have a compressed air can but used a camera lens air bulb to puff some air into the slot. To my amazement, this simple procedure did fix the issue. There must have been the tiniest spec of dust in that 2nd slot and it caused the error even after multiple plugging and replugging.
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to post this video and teach an old dog a new trick.
Very helpful, didn't know that even the tiniest piece of dust would stop it from booting up. Sprayed a little compressed air and issue solved 👍

@@kongalaia i did and now its telling me yes you put 2 rams but doesnt boot up only goes into bios and when I save and boot it doesnt boot in system
I had the same issue when I went from 16 to 32gb of ram. Take your CMOS battery out and hold down the power button to your PC for about a minute or so. That, or bridge the two pins with something metal like a screwdriver. With all sticks of RAM installed, put the CMOS battery back in, and start it.
This fixed my issue.
OR
Try to disable the XMP in bios using the old sticks, then install the new Sticks, then re-enable XMP.
Bought my ram new, did what the video said. Looks like I got faulty ram. Returning it tomorrow. Thanks for saving me time 👍
So after checking if each 4 of my ram sticks work, checking the BIOS version, thinking its a power issue, struggling for 2 hours! all I had to do WAS BLOW ON IT???!!!
Everything works now, thanks mate
When all else fails, give it the ole NES treatment!
2 hours? I've been at this for 4 days.
Oh my word!! The compressed air did it!!! Seriously, how?! You saved us so much stress!
What helped for me is cleaning the RAM sticks' gold contacts with alcohol and cotton. Before only 2 sticks would make my PC boot after applying that cleaning ,ethod it worked.
This guy radiates absolute GOAT energy that fixed my PC with new RAM installed.
How about horse energy
what about if my ram sticks don’t even turn on??

Im so stressed rn. I'm trying this tomorrow morning. Maaan, everytime i buy usedbit perfectly works in their place, then something goes wrong in my place. Feeling cursed.
I had two ram sticks installed for a long time wanted to install 2 additional sticks but the PC would always turn off after a few seconds and turn on by itself repeating the process. I narrowed the problem down to the first slot(at least I think so), and decided to only use 2 sticks, however now the PC does the exact same thing no matter how many sticks and which slots I use, any advice? I desperately need it
Try looking into the settings for the RAM in the BIOS, if you can get to it. If not, try resetting the CMOS (you take the coin battery out of the board temporarily and then add it back, I don't have a tutorial on this yet but you can look it up)
i’m having this exact same problem. what settings in BIOS would i need to check and what should it say?
@@AyCartii If after a RAM installation, your computer started beeping/looping/failing to boot, that means something's wrong, either at least one of the modules and/or slots are bad, typically.
In the BIOS, though, underneath wherever the RAM settings are, you can check the timings and speeds it is set to. Make sure they're the same as your RAM's manufacturer's specifications. If they're different, this can lead to boot failures.
@@Torqcx Well thank you for your quick response, the problem is that I don't get that far. It just turns of and starts again, can't get into the boot menu. I assume the motherboard is the problem but it worked just fine before I tried just one stick in slot 1, now any combination isn't working
@@G-DizzleDon Try clearing the CMOS, this is done on the physical board itself which manually resets the BIOS's settings and preferences back to default. After doing so, try again with just one module of RAM at a time. It sounds like the timings and/or speeds may have changed when the new module(s) were installed, but one of them perhaps isn't playing nice with the others.
Thank you so much man, worked after I switched the position of my ram modules
Hey man thank you for describing every possible thing.i was freaking out cause 2 didn't turn on or boot up.Thanks
Nothing is more humbling than messing up a simple RAM install after building PCs for nearly a decade. 🤦♂️

Are there any other possible causes for this ram boot-up failure besides these ones? Like for example, having multiple antivirus installed and running in the pc?
I've never heard of software of any kind causing a failure to boot, as software being loaded requires the OS it is installed on to be loaded initially.
Very Unlikely because antivirus software need the computer to be booted to start working
I've tried upgrading to 2 x 16gb 3200 ram sticks. I had 2 x 8gb 3200 in, I tried having all 4 in, wouldnt boot.

I’m having the exact same problem. Did you ever find a fix?
Same issue here with my 16gb 3200mhz ram😢
Same here
Did you fix this issue?
Nope. Gonna try some other things when i next try and replace them
Do you necessarily turn power supply off and unplug all the cables between each swap? Or simply turn computer off?
It's always recommended to take all the necessary precautions before making adjustments to your system's hardware, but that being said, I've been guilty of my laziness overcoming me and leaving the power cable plugged in and/or the switch on while I performed certain installations.
To those who couldn't figure out was wrong here's what worked for me:
Do the dust cleaning, and if that doesn't work go into BIOS and turn on/off XMP. Now boot with the new ram and BOOM. It worked for me.

Are you puttiong it back in the old slots and the same order? Some motherboards are very sensitive to even the smallest changes.

I’m in a unique situation, all RAM works in each slot 1-3, 2-4 etc but PC won’t boot up if I put the extra 2 sticks in. Will boot with 2 but not 4…I don’t understand it.
My problem is that all my ram work perfectly in 1/8 slots but all the other slots they don’t work in.Please help me.
If none of them are working in any of the other slots, most likely the slots are faulty. If cleaning them out didn't help, it may be time to replace the board.
Tried and replaced. Had the problem of no display or mouse. Tried the old ram cards that worked before and still no display
Clear your motherboard's CMOS (there's usually a jumper and coin battery you'll have to unplug and replug, but you'll have to look at your motherboard and/or it's manual to find where they're located). Afterward, plug back in the old RAM and go from there
Other problem can happen
1. Due to CPU
2. Bios problem and need to replace Bios

I have a b550 ds3h motherboard and im trying to get g.skill tridentz to work 2x16gb dual channel. My old ram 2x8gb works flawless in any slot. The new ones will only work single rank in b2 (tested both sticks in this slot). Any other slot it won't boot at all despite the RGB turning on and trying to run it dual channel in B1/b2 makes the board beep 3 times. Tried everything except for compressed air.. would that really be it if my other memory sticks work just fine? Would appreciate some help
Thanks dude bought ut today almost started thinking. About returning it
i have a asrock b450 or b550 motherboard. I removed some things from the pc to clean it , including the ram sticks , and now it boots up into bios . What do i do?
It sounds like at least one of the components you removed may be causing the failure to boot, but you can try re-seating everything and see if there was just a connection issue causing it.
This is what i did to get mine to boot well first off it already booted and worked fine before i added more ram so ik it was the ram i took it out booted back up but to get it to work with new ram i had to go into bios and turn off xmp then turn off computer install new ram after it booted into bios again turn xmp back on now everything works as should.
what about if B2 and B1 work with all ram sticks but A2 and A1 wont work with any, could it potentially be a bad memory controller on cpu?
It sounds like slots A1 and A2 are bad. If cleaning them out doesn't do anything you may need a new motherboard.
@@Torqcx yah that’s was also my thoughts as well but putting a new motherboard in resulted in same issue. Tested a buddies cpu and solved the issue though.
I’ve recently taken my pc apart to clean it and I had to take out a stick of ram in have more space to take out the heat sink and when I reinstalled the ram it won’t boot up but when I take it out it boots up fully? Have I done something wrong or has the ram just died?
It's possible the teeth of the RAM card became damaged, but I'd first start but blowing out the RAM slots in the motherboard. It's likely dust/debris got in there and is disrupting the contact between it and the module
@@Torqcx I did not expect that fast of a reply. Wow thanks. But after some troubleshooting it’s most likely the actual stick of ram itself as I moved a different stick into that slot and removed the one that I was having problems with and it boots up straight away so I either damaged it somehow or it was already a bit damaged when I got my pc.
Edit: after looking at the stick of ram I saw a scratch on it. Is it possible that the scratch is the problem or is something different. Either way imma buy a new stick of ram but thanks for the advice.
Edit 2: some how I have managed to get all ram sticks working again somehow. I guess they weren’t full inserted but they couldn’t go any further without damage. The last time I tried it all I did was give a little nudge/wiggle towards 1 direction and they all work now…. Tbh I have no idea what has happened and how I’ve fixed it but I thank you for your assistance.
I have some old pc and i try fix him ,i add one ram 2gb ddr 3 pc starting and turning off what is problem?
Start by clearing your system's CMOS (you can look up how to do this, it's very simple). Go from there.
I got this problem but dont know how to fix, I installed 32GB RAM (4 sticks) and use PC for hours then it suddenly restarted. From that moment I can't install more than 2 RAM sticks, if I do that the mainboard emit an orange light on DRAM sections. Been trying to fix for 2 days and still can't resolve the problem. Please help me. I'm using Asus B760 TUF and x4 HyperX 2666 8GB and I'm pretty sure the problem is not come from other parts. Thank you so much!!!
Very likely it's an issue with either the RAM modules or the slots they're in. If you've already blew out the slots for dust, reseated the modules, and reset the CMOS on the motherboard, there unfortunately isn't much left to do except troubleshoot whether it's the modules' or slots' fault. If any of the modules went bad, replacing them should solve the problem. If it's any of the slots, the motherboard would need to be replaced if you were otherwise unable to increase your RAM capacity with the one you currently have.
I just bought new 2x8 gb ram 3200mhz ( match with my cpu and motherboard for sure ) i tried a lot tutorials but i can't fix my black screeenwhen i put back my old ram 2x4 gb ram 2666mhz works good...what should i try ( i tried reseting bios and putting off cmos battery, not help ) ??
Try the modules one-at-a-time in each individual slot; if, in no matter what configuration any of them are in, the PC still fails to boot, that means either the motherboard is not compatible with those modules or they both happen to be faulty (though the latter is unlikely).
This shit happened to me over night. Cleaning the slots or switching the RAM sticks around doesn't seem to fix it. I assume both the RAM sticks just decided to die overnight for some reason?
Either that or the slots in the motherboard have died, that actually happened to me many years ago. You'll have to test each module in each individual slot to rule it out.
Very helpful.. thanks buddy
My pc used to work without issue, but since I returned from a trip, it began randomly experiencing boot failures (as in I could not even get into BIOS), but it would usually randomly work again after I do some random sh1t to it and restart a few times.
But now it really can't boot no matter what.
During my trip, the humidity levels back home was way high, to the point that the walls are wet. I think that may have caused some problems???
Also I bought a possibly sketchy new monitor with a possibly sketchy displayport cable. I heard that a faulty pin 20 can cause boot issues, but I still can't boot even after switching to hdmi so that can't be it right?
The debug led on the motherboard indicates that it's the dram that's the problem, but idk.
My motherboard is asrock b760m rs/ds wifi, ram is pny xlr8, gpu is rx6600.
I have not tried cleaning ram or ram slots, so I will do that tmr.
I am considering sending the PC to repair at this point...
You can also try resetting the CMOS, look up how to do that but basically you just take out the coin battery for a few seconds and put it back in. Often times this can fix BIOS/motherboard issues.
Comp wouldn’t boot up, but I could access bios. I changed everything to default & then windows started up. Then I went back into the bios and enabled XMP. Windows works fine now & it shows XMP enabled :)
So my new ram I got I have 2 slots in my mother Board. The old one had 1 ram module so I removed it and installed the 2 new ram modules and now my pc won’t turn on. But when I use the old one it works?
Try resetting the motherboard to its default settings before installing the new ones. Try clearing the motherboard's CMOS. Also of course try installing one of the new modules at a time to see if either of them are causing the issue.
@@Torqcx so I reset the cmos had the bios reset to default and tested each ram stick they both work but when they are both in they don’t work? Is there something I haft to enable?
@@Torqcx and also when they are both in it goes to auto matic repair and then shuts off and doesn’t load windows
So basically my problem is one of the slots is not working and every time I plug any kind of RAM stick in it the screen goes black I think the problem might be not from the motherboard but from the CPU itself because it has an accident, could it be that case.
I don't believe the CPU would cause an issue like that, it sounds like it is the slot in the motherboard, especially if you already attempted to clean it out
@@Torqcx I really hope what you are saying is exactly my case because if not I would be buying a whole motherboard and wasting the last bit of my money without actually fixing anything, maybe buying a motherboard with 4 or 8 slots will be reassuring to me, and sorry for mumbling so much I just want to know my problem and how to fix it, I really wish if there was some kind of program that tells you if the problem is from one component in your PC, anyway there is something that made me think the problem is not from the motherboard but from the CPU because when I plug the RAM stick in the second slot I don't just get a black screen the fan of my CPU doesn't start rotating either.
Thank you I didn't know a bit of dust could do that, I've narrowed it down to 1 slot that is the issue, just need to get some compressed air
Now what if all of a sudden your ram light starts turning on for a bit and turning back off?
First try clearing your system's CMOS, I don't currently have a video on this but there are plenty of tutorials out there on how to do so. Basically you take your motherboard's coin battery out for a few seconds then put it back in, this will reset your BIOS (this will not affect your computers data, programs, files etc.). Troubleshoot from there.
I just built my pc all new parts but the ram will not working in proper slots and only 1 stick works in b2 and if i use the consair ram i just bought they work in b1and b2 but not where they supposed to work. And when i load up cant run any games it instantly crashes. Dram light is on motherboard when i try to put ram in any other slots
If after resetting the CMOS you still cannot get any of the RAM to work in those slots, the board may be defective. If you built everything new, you should be able to get it replaced.
Thanks but my issue is my DDR5 get stuck after restart, RMA'd my Ram kit got a new kit without explanation. Meets QVL mobo list and not sure why Expo 1 CL30 6000MHZ or Expo 2 CL 40 5600 doesn't work 🤔
It can also be a missing pin on a AMD CPU. Happened to me. Replaced the pin and worked fine. Check the corners well and look close. Its easy to miss.
Yooooo thanks for this video brooooo. I tried one of these tips and it worked 😍😍😍😍
My ASUS motherboard only likes the RAM that came with the board, 2 sticks of 1G that have cooling loops on top of them, sticks of 2G that work in other computers will not allow the computer to boot up, any ideas?
If the sticks (modules) that don't work are the exact correct specifications your motherboard specifies it can handle, and they work in other systems, try resetting the system's CMOS and try again with the modules. If you still don't get any luck, those modules may just not like that board.
For some reason, I couldn’t change anything in my Gigabyte Bios.
But after I unplugged the battery for 20 seconds, with no power cable and turned on my PC with all 4 Ram blocks. It worked perfectly 🙂
Mine, only boots up when 2 RAM are installed, when I remove any of one RAM, it won't boot up, why is that?
Check your motherboard's manual to see if there's a specific configuration required (a certain slot) for only having a single module of RAM.

@@libanarab5883 As long as your system can successfully boot with all the RAM, it shouldn't be overworking it; the fact that the fans sound louder now is a new one to me, though.

Hi, I changed my CPU and when I attempted to boot up, I had a black screen. Changed and swapped the RAM and system would boot up if I removed the RAM out of slot 4, leaving 1 RAM stick in slot 2. When I powered off, put the RAM stick back in slot 4, along with the RAM stick in slot 2, it wouldn't boot up again. Any advice please?
First reset the CMOS (search up your motherboard on how to do it, basically you're just setting the BIOS back to default which should clear any errors that may have been brought up from the new installation). Then try each module out one-at-a-time in each slot to determine whether any of the modules or slots are bad.

It sounds like the new RAM could be faulty, which is a common occurrence. Try swapping it out with a new kind, maybe exchange it if you can.
The issue I have is that pc turns on the 1st time i put ram in, it says 32gb now (31.1 usable). I play cs and stuff for 2-3 hours and then turned off pc. Next time I turned it on it doesn't boot, wtf.
Start by cleaning out all the modules and resetting the CMOS, see if that fixes anything. If you've correctly troubleshot everything and the error persists, the modules may have died.
I have a different problem, so basically my computer already has 2x8 gb ram and i got 2x16 gb ram, so i tried putting all ram inside and it worked but then froze and turned off, then i tried 40 gb ram snd did the same thing, then 32 gb ram and it also did the same thing, then 24 and it lasted for about 20 minutes then turned off, now i’m trying the new 16 gb ram alone and it still turned off, i’m about to try the 8x2 gb again and i will reply and tell you what happens.
Check pc temps happend to me turned out it shut down due to heat
No matter what i do it still wont turn on, this happened once before so i bought two brand new tforce 8 g ram cards and it fixed it for a little while. I wasnt getting full usage of them though, and my computer still said it was running at 8 gigs instead of 16, so i swapped the slots around after turning off the computer, and now it wont boot no matter where i put them. This is my first time ever owning and computer, and it is making me lose my mind. Please, how do i fix this?
The first step is to reset the CMOS (every board is a little different but generally there's a coin you have to take out for a few seconds, at least). This will reset the BIOS back to default settings (this will not change any of your programs or files). From there, try each RAM module individually in each slot, one-at-a-time (after blowing them out).
Here's another solution that worked for me but isn't anything physical.
I upgraded from 2x8GB sticks 3200mhz to 2x16GB 3600mhz.
I had to boot into the BIOS (Spam the DEL or F2 key during boot up) and enable XMP.
Hope this helps someone else.
Its not even booting to the bios
I got 3600mhz 2×16 as well
Hello i. Currently having this problem it works with 1 ram but with 2 theres no display, should i enable xmp in bios with 1 ram then add the other?
Had a very similar issue to this, had to do with the XMP setting in my BIOS. Thx for the guidance!
Just upgraded to 2x16gb from 2x8gb and my pc won’t open any games, or it will try and freeze where as before I could play all games perfectly??? Any ideas??
It sounds like at least one of the new modules are bad, so long as you're 100% sure they're both fully compatible with your system. A bold test would be to reinstall the OS and see if that fixes it, but honestly I would just try new modules.
Interesting. I solved such an issue simply by booting to BIOS, after my PC wouldn't boot up with my old RAM stick either and I had reinstalled the newly bought pair of 16 GB sticks. I still don't know WHY that worked, or why aren't any of the tutorials covering that trick. Sure, I hadn't secured the new sticks properly the first time, but after I had, it still wouldn't work before forcing it to BIOS. So much for the practicality of PC building 🙄. Now I'm afraid of further upgrades that I've had in mind.
PLEASE HELP‼️
I checked all my ram slots one by one and also checked all my ram sticks one by one everything works
But when I put all four of them together then the system starts beeping and no display
Help please
Running any three ram sticks at one time in any of the slots work but as soon as I put 4 ram sticks the system starts crying
Try resetting the CMOS (I currently don't have a video on this, but basically you take the coin battery out of the motherboard for a few seconds then put it back in. This will not affect your system's programs or files).
@@Torqcx didn't work
how do i fix my ram slot only work at a1 and a2, b1 and b2 not working when i try to turn it on monitor gives no signal and wont boot
Make sure you check each slot individually first, then start adding additional modules and see if there's either any specific slot that's not working or if it's a combination that is causing the failure.
what is it boots up @ 2666 mhz. but not at the rams full frequency of 3600mhz
Check your BIOS; you may be able to crank up its speed and/or timings.
@@Torqcx i just put it to D.O.C.P. settings and it worked.
Does it matter if it’s backwards or forward
Yes, there's only one possible orientation RAM modules can be installed into RAM slots.
what to do if my rams is fired and now hes dont working ?
Newbies said installing ram is the easiest one. But only professional knew how hard it can be. Pc wont boot, pc bsod suddenly and a lot. My advice, before upgrading or changing ram, set bios to default or reset the bios. Then turn off psu. Pull cmos battery. Pull the ram. Insert cmos battery. Insert 1 ram. Turn on psu. Go to bios. Set as default again. Turn off back. Then install the rest of ram. This is the safest way i can give. Because previous ram will left some memory. That is why some case it wont boot if we change the ram. The pc will be trap in loop. Make sure reset everything first.
THANK YOU. After first install it failed to boot and I had a panic attack. I used some compressed air and it came back to life
It was dust, what a scare. Thank you for the video.
Bro is giving me mini heart attack every second 😂
Thnk yiu bro!You have saved my time and price(for buying a new pc).Also beatings from my parents 😂
Bro my fans start spinning and my leds are working my gpu turns on but then it just closes what should I do????
Start by resetting the CMOS on your motherboard (I currently don't have a video on this but there are plenty of tutorials you can look up).
Literally just cleaning it with a little compressed air thank you
I dont know my ram get a hit from my cpu fan when I was unplugging it , now I blew it and put 1 ram in 1st slot and it boot up
I just wanted to upgrade my laptop ram to 8gb , I previously had a 4gb ram module and got an additional 4gb one. but the laptop is stuck in a boot loop.I tried everything nothing works. here's what i tried: 1) the hard reset 2) the cmos clearing 3) changing the slots 4) trying just one at a time and in different slots 5) cleaning up the motherboard and everything . yet still stuck . anyone got any advice ? thanks
What if my pc is 1week old, and now not booting and show red dram light ?
Start by removing the RAM and cleaning the slots. If, after re-insertion, your system still doesn't boot up, clear the CMOS (I currently don't have a video on the topic but there are plenty you can watch here on TH-cam on how to do that), and try booting up again. If none of that solves the problem, troubleshoot each slot and each module, one-at-a-time, to determine whether any of the slots or modules went bad.
I need big help, so I took out my ram stick to see what brand it was then after about 10 minutes put it back in started my pc but all that happened is it spun up, didn’t boot, then the fans for the case and cpu stopped. Please Help.
Try blowing out the slot either with compressed air or your own breath, some dust or debris may have found its way in there.
@@Torqcx thanks for getting back to me just tried no luck. Might have to take it to someone to look at. Have a nice day 😁
@@Torqcx Update: Turns out I stuffed up the ram as I didn’t use gloves to take it out, not to worry though I was planning to get two sticks of 16 gb ram anyway.
You kill your computer forever. Got to buy one.
@@streetrat160 wrong needed new ram.
My question is, I installed mine, it turned on and I went to restart it and then it didn’t work
Try clearing the CMOS, reseat all the RAM modules and try again.
@@Torqcx I was able to get it, instead of where the old ram sticks were, they needed to be in the other two slots. Which is weird because my pc booted up when the ram sticks were placed in the slots where the old ram was. It was when I restarted it that caused the issue. Now everything is working fine thanks for the video and the help and the fast reply :)
I’m still stuck none of my 3 diffrent sticks work in any of the spots… I have a z170-ar mother board
If after resetting the CMOS you still have no luck, with any module in any slot, the motherboard may be defective. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do other than replace the board, in that scenario.
