PC specs include an Intel core i5 10600k with Arctic Freezer 7 X fan, Gskill Ripjaws DDR4 RAM (3200 MHz), two 8GB sticks, an ASRock B560M Pro motherboard, a CORSAIR TX650M power supply, a 2TB Seagate Barracuda SSD, a 240GB M.2 SSD, and Western Digital SSD 240GB M.2 fans. The case features up here 120mm blue LED with thermaltake S100 tempered glass Snow Edition design. The GPU is a GeForce GTX 1070. Recent issues involve boot failures, blue screens, and looping. I attempted to restore BIOS to defaults and reset CMOS but only one RAM stick would boot, regardless of slot. I’m unsure how to resolve this so both sticks work or if selling the current setup is better. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The PC fails to boot when using any other RAM stick, regardless of which one you select for testing a single DIMM.

It doesn't matter which option I choose, as long as only one is connected.

Install rams in slots 1 and 2, then verify functionality.

I omitted to note that in the update I checked every possible arrangement of RAM in the four slots, none succeeded.

Check if RAM functions on another motherboard, possibly yours or a faulty one. I'm not an expert, but someone with experience might help you fix the issue without causing more problems.

I don’t have a different motherboard or computer.

Need additional testing to identify the issue. Take it to a repair shop.
