Okay so, here are a few things. I recently bought some 128gb of RAM and a new CPU and put them into my B550 PRO4 Aorus motherboard. My BIOS isn't brand new, but it's updated enough to play with the new CPU without crashing. It's basically BIOS P3.4 or something very similar. Now here are the problems I'm having. When I replaced the old RAM and the old CPU (which was a Ryzen 3), only half of the memory sticks work while the other half won't. Half my ram is in, but the rest refuses to go. It's not faulty RAM because I tested all the sticks in the two working slots and they all worked fine. So I looked it up online and couldn't find a solid answer. I saw some hints about changing timings or overclocking and thinking the RAM wasn't powerful enough. When I try using a SET XMP profile from Windows, it works on my PC, but then randomly I get a blue screen error? And my programs close all by themselves? Then because of my drive having the wrong partition type (set to MBR instead of GPT), I can't turn on Secure Boot because it needs something else to be off. But because Windows 11 requires Secure Boot, I can't upgrade anything because of my 1TB drive that I know has to get formatted into a GPT drive. I'm just so overwhelmed and mentally tired from this stuff, and it's starting to hurt me. If you have tips or help please let me know, cause I really don't want to replace my whole PC. Also trying to go to Win 11. Apparently non-overclocked RAM that my motherboard supports is 3200mhz, but I have 3600mhz sticks here. Here are some specs to help anyone out: ASRock b550 pro4 AMd Ryzen 7 5700x with 4 sticks of DDR4-3600, Trident Z Royal Crystal, RTX 3070ti FTW, a 1TB solid state drive, and two 8TB hard drives. Please let me know if you need anything else!
