I recently purchased another dual channel HyperX 2400 MHz (2x4GB) memory kit. I assumed it would function properly just by connecting it, since it matches the model I already own. However, as soon as I powered on the PC, I heard a long beep followed by two short ones. The screen remained inactive, and the system continued operating without restarting. When I removed the new memory, it worked fine. It also functioned when I took out the old memory or mixed them together in the same dual channel or different channels, but it consistently refused to work with more than two sticks.

Early Ryzen models required careful memory configuration. Using just two sticks supports dual-channel operation. Have you ensured your motherboard's BIOS is up to date?

When using two sticks it functions well even with the combination of old and new sticks. I just observed a newer release of my BIOS, so I might consider updating, but I'm not sure it would really help.

Through some adjustments and resetting the CMOS by disconnecting the battery and connecting the jumper pins, I gradually added memory sticks one at a time. Once I reached three, inserting the fourth caused it to beep again. I then swapped the third slot with the fourth, and it stopped beeping successfully. It was a frustrating fix, but it finally worked.
