System fails to start despite increased memory speed.
System fails to start despite increased memory speed.
Hey, your PC is running smoothly after the upgrade. The main issue seems to be with the RAM. You have a total of 32GB installed, but Windows and NVIDIA reports show only 16GB being used. It looks like the BIOS memory frequency was set too low at 3000MHz, and you raised it to 3200MHz, but the system still won’t boot. Even though your specs support 3200MHz RAM, there might be a compatibility or configuration problem. Check the BIOS settings again and ensure the RAM is properly recognized.
Ensure your DOCP profile matches D.O.C.P DDR4-3200 16-18-18-36. If posting fails, reset your CMOS—refer to page 1-9 of your manual at the provided link for guidance. Raising memory frequency doesn’t affect the visibility of the remaining 16GB in your system. Consider reinserting all memory modules.
You mentioned adjusting the frequency, did you also change the voltage? In most cases the standard voltage is about 1.2V, but for 3200 or higher it’s around 1.3V. This information should be found in the RAM manual. (I missed this earlier with the same boot issue.) It might help at least with the boot problem. The "missing RAM" issue won’t be resolved by this change.
Hey, half a month passed. I didn’t reply there—just joking! But I did fix it. There was a Windows setting capping RAM at 16GB. Just changed it to 32GB and everything works now.
