Attempted to increase RAM capacity.
It might be a faulty RAM module. The older model could still function if it's intact.
I replaced the old RAM and it stopped working too. Edit: just insert them into slots 1-3 and it functioned. Possibly misplaced them earlier. Should I attempt optimal placement or keep it as is? Edit2: The PC won’t power on in slots 2-4 but lights up when I try another slot.
Your system specifications are quite advanced. It seems you're considering a significant upgrade—1066 DDR3 or possibly DDR4 2133? A BIOS update might be necessary for running at 3600 MHz, though an older chip could struggle with memory controllers. A 3200 MHz would have been a safer choice, but let's confirm what you can actually support.
I have an ASRock B550M steel legend A5800X3D with a 3070 MHz RAM. I placed the RAM in slots 1-3 instead of 2-4, and it booted initially but fails when I switch back to slots 2-4. Is there anything I should adjust in the BIOS?
switch the new sticks just like your old rams would, making sure they hit at least 3200 even if it's a low-quality part like the Hynix 8Gbit model. Better yet, Icons will be able to find the best options online once you know the IC with the thaiphoon burner.
