Problem with memory capacity is strange.
Problem with memory capacity is strange.
I recently changed my RAM configuration from 2 x 8GB to 4 x 8GB, using the same model (Klevv Cras X). Since then, I've experienced some unusual problems. When I power on my PC for the first time, the motherboard displays a bright orange DRAM indicator and the system fails to boot. However, pressing the reset button on my case allows it to start up normally in Windows without issues. I've attempted various fixes such as clearing CMOS, disabling D.O.C.P., re-seating the RAM, but nothing prevents the need for a reset before booting. The issue becomes more complicated when I disable D.O.C.P. and enable auto-mode at 2666MHz instead of the rated 3600MHz—multiple BSODs occur. I've tested each RAM stick individually and they function correctly, even in slots A2 and B2. But when all four are installed together, the problems arise. I suspect the issue isn't with the individual sticks but with how they interact when all are present. The specs are: Windows 11 Pro (latest), RAM: 4 x 8GB DDR4 3600 K, motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550 F Gaming (latest BIOS), CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (stock), PSU: Corsair RM850, GPU: Asus Tuf RTX 3080 10GB (stock). It's puzzling and I'm still trying to figure it out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I also experienced a problem with an ASUS ROG Stix motherboard. The issue remained until I performed a fresh Windows installation and updated the drivers. It’s possible it relates to how the boot manager checks RAM compatibility with the CPU. I’m not sure of the exact reason, but updating resolved it for me.
I truly wanted to skip a complete setup, but it's the only option I had left to consider.
I faced instability while testing multiple AMD graphics cards together—AMD Radion RX, ATI Radion HD, RTX 3090 and RTX 3070. After removing the GPUs, the system began showing the same problems you mentioned, plus occasional crashes when AMD drivers attempted to run.
OS problems typically stem from boot issues, corrupted files, or hardware conflicts. If the PC won’t boot Windows at all, posting will fail immediately. If it boots but no posts appear, the issue may be with network connectivity, firewall settings, or server configuration. A reset is often needed to clear temporary files and resolve persistent errors.
The problem lies not in the operating system; rather, it's the surrounding environment that triggers the OS.
On first start up no, it's not even posting. Restarting gets passed post into windows
