I secured a PC for my girlfriend at a friend’s expense. I refreshed the thermal paste, cleaned it up, added two more RAM modules and a new SSD, and everything functioned smoothly. I connected a Wi-Fi USB stick—it worked but was very slow. After that, I bought a Wi-Fi card which resolved the speed issues completely. So far everything seems fine. However, when trying to power it up the next day, I noticed no display signal despite peripherals being active. This is unusual, but I’ve dealt with PCs before and know this can happen. I performed a standard restart; the screen appeared with peripherals, but both shut down completely while lights and fans ran at full speed. I think the PSU might be faulty and decided to replace it after further troubleshooting, which had mixed results. Eventually, the new PSU worked—until I cleaned up the cable management and restarted again, but this time it failed. I’ve tested each RAM individually; two pairs functioned correctly, while the other two didn’t. The good news is the working RAMs came from different sets. I’m now really confused and have decided to power off the PC temporarily to seek advice from others. Any assistance would be invaluable—I’d love to get her gaming soon!

Specs: CPU – Ryzen 5 1400, Motherboard – Asus Prime B350-A, RAM – Corsair Vengeance LX 4x8GB (2 at 3000MHz, 2 at 3200MHz), GPU – MSI RX 580, SSD – 500GB, PSU – 650W, Power Supply – EVGA BP (previously a 500W Thermaltake Smart).

RAM instability leads to numerous unusual problems. Are you attempting to apply an XMP profile (such as DOCP for Ryzen) across both modules, or is the issue persisting with automatic settings?

I used to run XMP but now it has the default settings, which are still causing issues with automatic adjustments Sad
