BIOS 2613 was updated using the SanDisk USB, a RAM stick was inserted into slot A2, yet no adjustments occurred.
Confirm if you're referring to the CPU or the motherboard. Let me know so I can assist accurately.
It is the correct slot, it's A2, as per the user manual, which you can find on the ASUS support site. Please count the number of slots in the picture, there are 2 empty, and the RAM stick is in the slot before them (A2), leaving 1 slot before it empty, which would be slot A1.
Using both sticks results in the same outcome for slots A2 and B2. I've tested two different RAM configurations, both of which are mentioned in my previous post. The CPU is properly seated, the cooler mount works fine, and the RAM is placed correctly. Neither set is on the QVL, though I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. I haven't encountered any issues with RAM that isn't on the QVL before, and based on my experience, Crucial performs well.
