Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro and SL RAM aren't starting, yet TForce works fine.
The PC began experiencing problems with the original Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 (4x8) 32GB. I followed the standard troubleshooting steps with Corsair support, updated the BIOS, and cleared the CMOS battery. I tested each stick using Memtest86 and found two were faulty, preventing booting and displaying error code 0d on my Asrock B550 Steel Legend. Corsair replaced the faulty sticks and sent a new model, which was different from the original but functional. After installing the replacement RAM, the system started up correctly, though it still showed the same error code. I repeated all troubleshooting procedures with Corsair Support, cleared the CMOS again, tested each stick individually, and prayed for a resolution. Eventually, I borrowed a TFORCE Vulcan Z 8GB 3200 single stick, which worked perfectly. I contacted Corsair multiple times about compatibility issues with the new RAM version but received no updates. I attempted various fixes—clearing CMOS, reseating the CPU, trying different power supplies, and even removing the motherboard—but nothing resolved the issue. I’m unsure if my PC will accept Corsair RAM sticks permanently. The current setup is working, but I’m concerned about long-term compatibility. My build is white, which might be a factor. I’m exploring further options and hoping for a solution.
It seems like you're dealing with a motherboard issue. You might want to reach out to support for help. There could also be a compatibility problem between your motherboard and RAM. You can check the website for a list of compatible RAM models to verify.
