I believe overheating your CPU or motherboard might be caused by using a RAM XMP profile incorrectly.
I believe overheating your CPU or motherboard might be caused by using a RAM XMP profile incorrectly.
Hello! I recently installed a new PC with the following specifications. I aimed to optimize my RAM, which consists of four 16GB Patriot Viper Venom 6000mhz DDR5 sticks. After booting the BIOS on my ASRock B760 RS Pro motherboard and selecting the highest XMP profile, I saved the changes. However, the PC won’t boot properly or display any screen. Instead, it only runs fans, RGB lighting, and a red warning light. I’ve attempted to reset the BIOS by touching the pins and removing the CMOS battery for hours, but nothing improved. Trying integrated graphics didn’t help either. I also experimented with other DDR5 RAM that operates at 4800mhz, but the issue persists. Given these challenges, I’m considering replacing either my motherboard or CPU. I’m unsure what to do next and would appreciate any advice on resolving this problem. I’d like to get back into the BIOS if possible. Let me know!
The initial error was selecting 4x16GB instead of 2x32GB. Using two sticks simplifies memory management. Typically, four sticks restrict RAM performance significantly. Have you tried using a single stick in slot A2?
I attempted to proceed but the issues persist. I couldn’t capture an image. I wasn’t aware that using 4x16 would be problematic, though it makes sense. Appreciate you letting me know. I’ll switch to a different CPU and motherboard and limit RAM to 16GB for now. Thanks!
