I can assist you with your new RAM. What issues are you experiencing?
I currently have a Gigabyte H410M S2 V2 with an Intel Core i3-10100F, a GTX 1650 4GB and one 8GB RAM stick running at 2400mhz. I thought it was time for an upgrade. I purchased two 16GB RAM sticks at 3000mhz and installed them immediately, making sure the slots were secure. The computer keeps beeping long tones and my screen displays "Standby Mode." I attempted to clean the RAM slots but had no luck, replaced the motherboard battery, reset the CMOS, but nothing worked. Could this mean the motherboard is damaged or the CPU itself? Thank you in advance for your help.
Got it. Follow these steps: remove CMOS battery, connect via PSU, wait about ten minutes, reinsert CMOS, then resume PSU power and see the outcome.
Before turning it on and placing the batter back, keep the power button pressed for 30 to 60 seconds (without the CMOS or PSU). If this doesn’t work, attempt to clear any dust from the RAM slots that might be affecting contact.
I cleaned the RAM slots but left the power button part out. I’ll come back with a reply soon.
It remains unclear, I still prefer avoiding bios, same ten long beeps.
Check if the RAM is properly seated and the slots are clean. Ensure the two clips on both sides lock securely under pressure—not by hand. If this doesn<|pad|>, it could indicate a problem. Try powering on your PC with the stick in every slot (likely two). Verify if the beep sounds are long, not short. If issues persist, something may have damaged your motherboard—consider taking it to a repair shop.
I believe it might be faulty, since I followed everything you mentioned earlier and it looks unchanged. Tomorrow I'll visit a service for an inspection. Thanks for your assistance.
