Hey everyone, I just upgraded my setup with some additional RAM. I added two more sticks from my existing 2 DIMMs—Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz (2x8GB). Placing them in the first and third slots gives me a total of four 8GB sticks at 3200MHz across all slots. My system isn’t booting up, and I’m still using an ASUS ROG Strix B365-F motherboard capped at 2666MHz with an i7 9700K. I’m new to BIOS settings, so any suggestions would be great. I’ve re-seated everything and double-checked they’re firmly in place. Thanks ahead! For reference, here’s the memory kit: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/memory/c...m2c3200c18

What motherboard you're using, the newest BIOS version, and whether the new RAM functions independently are key details.

Missed it, sorry. MOBO is a ROG STRIX B365-F gaming rig equipped with an i7 9700K. The other two are ready to review now—will share them in about ten minutes.

It seems you need to correct the memory details. Both your system and the BIOS are set to 3200MHz, and the RAM is from version 2.20.1271 running in dual-channel mode. I'll update the existing post accordingly.
