System fails to power on despite having over 16GB of memory installed.
System fails to power on despite having over 16GB of memory installed.
Hey guys, Recently I purchased a 16GB kit for my server so that I can get 32GB in the future. Right now I have 4 4 4 4 or 16GB x4 DIMMS. I replaced two of the dimms with 8 8 for a total of 24GB of ram until I could afford to purchase another 16GB Kit. The motherboard I am using is the Gigabyte H97-D3H ATX one of the main reasons I purchased this board was because it said I could have up to 32GB, The board runs fine with Just the 8x8 Kit but when I add one or two more dimms I have it just won't boot, The fans start spinning on the CPU then stop for a few seconds and start spinning again then it repeats in this endless loop. Any ideas?
Are the RAM modules running at the same frequency?. If not, underclocking the faster one to match the speed. There's a decent chance you also can't run different sticks at different capacities either - e.g 2x 8GB and 2x 4GB. You may only be able to run 4GB sticks OR 8GB sticks and not mix and match
It really depends on chance if they succeed together. If the same setup is used, it should function well.
Verify the timing values to ensure they match. Opt for the version with the longer intervals and slightly increase the ring voltage to observe any improvement.
Check these two options: the first is available at ncix.com, and the second on newegg.ca. The setup times look the same to me, but I’m having trouble getting into the BIOS with everything installed. I haven’t tested Corsair Vengeance yet, but I don’t want to lose time right now, so I’ll try them later.
