Hello, I’m not very comfortable with PC hardware, but I decided to upgrade my RAM anyway. This journey led me here, hoping someone will understand the effort I put in... My system: Z390-A PRO with 7-9700kf, new RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB at 3600MHz (x4), updated BIOS, installed the new RAM, and used XMP to fix settings. The PC didn’t boot. I tried troubleshooting, got frustrated, then took out the new RAM and put in the old one. It still wouldn’t start. I was questioning my situation. Now I’m here, hoping we can make it work! If even the old stuff functions, that’s still a success. Appreciate any advice.
