So a while ago my PC stopped working and I thought about upgrading. I tried using the same RAM to see if it would work, but it wouldn't respond. When I installed the old components again, the problem persisted. I ended up building a new system with an MSI Z490 gaming motherboard and Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB RAM at 3600MHz. It worked perfectly. After finishing the build, my roommate mentioned something about a RAM issue on the monitor, but when I checked, both channels were correct. Everything seemed fine until I restarted the PC—then the DRAM light appeared and the system would power off and turn back on. I tried replacing one stick in the second channel, reseeding it, and putting it in the third and fourth slots, but the issue continued. Now it keeps restarting and shutting down.

I recall issues with my MSI x470 Pro Carbon when installing RAM as well. I don’t have the exact steps, but I think I repositioned all the power connectors and tried swapping the RAM until it functioned. It seems the problem might have been something else, like the CPU not being seated correctly. Sorry I can't assist further. If you try using just one stick at a time, let me know if you encounter issues.

Use slot A2 and B2 together for dual channel.

I tested single sticks and every ramp position, even using my previous RAM one by one in each slot while swapping when it didn’t work, but problems persisted.

I resolved the issue by installing RAM in the second and fourth slots, then shorting JBAT1 with a screwdriver. Everything is working now!
