I appreciate your input, but I'm facing a puzzling problem with my RAM. I recently upgraded to a new kit—four 8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB sticks at 3600MHz DDR4. Previously, I used two 8GB Crucial Ballistix units. The issue began after installing the new ones, and I've tried speeding things up by swapping them one by one. Now, everything boots but I can't see any keyboard or mouse lights, and the screen won't power on. I've checked different configurations, assuming one stick might be faulty, but replacing any of the Vs with B sticks fixes it. Windows RAM diagnostics are running, yet no problems appear. What could be causing this?
