CPU debug indicator remains on, system fails to start after adding extra RAM kit.
Hey everyone! I really enjoyed the look of the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB. I figured having four would make it even better, so I upgraded my RAM. Both models are identical in size and speed, but the one I already own is v3.32 while the new one from the store is v3.31. Now it won’t boot at all—it just shows a CPU Debug light. Each unit seems to work independently, but together they don’t function as intended. I’m confused because they don’t offer refunds or returns, so I’m stuck trying different options until I decide to sell it.
What processor and motherboard configuration are you using? BIOS version also matters, as different updates can affect memory compatibility. For memory mixing, 1122 pairing is generally recommended since it allows each channel to operate independently. This can be especially useful with varying ICs, though I've mainly experienced benefits on Intel platforms.
