PC fails to recognize new RAM modules.
PC fails to recognize new RAM modules.
You recently upgraded your RAM but haven’t seen any changes in your motherboard. You’ve tried updating the BIOS, resetting CMOS, booting with the old module, and adjusting the RAM speed in BIOS from auto to 2133MHz, yet nothing works. Your system uses MSI B450M-A PRO MAX Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 3200 MHz, while your PC boots with G.skill Ripjaws V 2x4GB 2133 MHz. The specs of the PC you’re using are MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB 3200 MHz and Ryzen 3 3300X. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Have you experimented with CPU swapping? By default the 2200G only supports 2933 RAM, though XMP might help. Did you correctly reset the CMOS by removing the battery? If the new RAM functions on the A320 board with the 2200G, would it make sense to replace the boards entirely?
I don’t have more than those two CPUs, but I’ll try anyway. Thanks for confirming—I’ve done this before. Yes, I’ve swapped them many times. The board is mine, but it’s okay if the swap works for both.
