Hi, your original 8GB 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM is C14, while the new stick you bought is C16. It seems they have different timings, which might be causing boot issues. You might need to adjust the timing settings manually or use a compatible adapter to make them work together. Check the documentation for your motherboard and RAM to see if there are specific steps for compatibility.

DDR4 RAM can sometimes be selective, so even identical parts may not fit perfectly. The only sure match is the kit sold together from the factory. Combining different models isn't advised. Purchase a complete set matching your desired capacity and speed, bring back the old unit, and place an order for a fresh 2x8GB 3200mhz kit of your choice.

Adjust RAM speeds and timings to match the specifications of slower sticks in UEFI.

This configuration uses AMD or Intel hardware, but it's unclear which brand you're referring to. The system specifications aren't clear enough to confirm the exact setup. It seems like DDR4 components are involved, but without more details it's hard to say.

I own an i5 6500 with an 8GB Corsair Vengeance LX DDR4 RAM, a 240GB SSD, a 1TB HDD, and a GTX 970 GPU, all powered by an ASUS H110-A motherboard.

I attempted that, but I couldn't locate the settings for the last number (tras). You're using an ASUS H110M-A, right?

Look for the TRANS settings in your BIOS or UEFI, often under advanced settings or chipset options. If you're still having trouble, check the manual or forums specific to your ASUS model for guidance.

TRAS needs to appear in the BIOS under DRAM settings and timing configurations. It may require some adjustment if you're new to these concepts, though mastering them will make it easier later. CPU-Z is a helpful tool, along with a few others, to observe how your changes impact the system. It displays only the essential timing details, but that still provides valuable insights, plus it reveals additional hardware information. Since your board is simpler, BIOS tweaking options should be limited, yet the core features are likely available at least.

I believe I located them, but the RAM isn't working even after installing it into my computer.

The ICs on the two sticks might not work well together. Corsair is known for using different ICs in their products, even in the same series, so it's best to choose a compatible set rather than relying on chance.
