You recently purchased four sticks of 2666mHz DDR4 RAM and installed them. When you try to boot your PC, the EZ debug LEDs light up for DRAM, then briefly switch to CPU before returning. The monitor stays black despite fans running. You have an Intel i5 9400f, a GTX 1030, and Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM. What should you do?

Place one stick in the system, check for boot. If successful, power down and replace the stick. Repeat the process, swapping as needed. Clean thoroughly, rinse multiple times until each of the four functions independently. Continue testing with three and then four units. Provide feedback afterward.

The same problem occurred a few weeks back. Verify that both RAM sides are completely seated. In my situation, I only secured one side with the clip, leaving the other side partially out despite it appearing installed.

I just tried something my friend suggested. I neglected to restart the BIOS settings, but now it's functioning okay. Thanks!
