Hey! You swapped your Corsair 2x8 with a Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x16, but the system isn’t displaying anything. The PC is powered on and the RAM is showing colors, suggesting it’s seated properly, yet nothing appears. You’re using an MSI X570-A Pro board with a Ryzen 7 3700X. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting further!

Yes, it was placed in slots 2 and 4 from the left. Consider updating the BIOS with your previous RAM setup.

Have you already tried resetting the CMOS?

Sure, I've placed them correctly and will check the bios.

You should ask for clarification on what you're trying to do.

Did you adjust anything related to the CPU, such as taking out the cooler? The first step would be to reset the CMOS (reboot the BIOS). Instead of using the jumper, you can use any metal object that connects the two pins—like a screwdriver tip, knife, or similar. If you can't reach the jumper, simply remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes while the PC is off.

Hi, I'm not sure if this helps, but I've tried one stick in slot 2 and the PC didn't start at all. Then I swapped it with the other stick in slot 2, both running as the only RAM sticks, and it booted normally. Does that suggest the issue is with that stick?

I faced the same problem with Corsair LPX 3600—only one stick worked out of two, and that only when using two packs. I ended up saving one from each pack and sent the rest back via RMA. With a 3900x and an x570 motherboard, you might try swapping RAM to another brand.

Several users experienced difficulties with Corsair Vengeance RAM when using Ryzen processors. They also faced challenges with XMP settings, often reaching a maximum of 3200 MHz before performance dropped.
