Unable to retrieve my memory at 3200MHz, please assist.
The system is stuck in a loop after adjusting BIOS settings. RAM was cleared and default values restored, yet the memory speed remains fixed at 3200MHz. Try resetting the CMOS completely and ensuring all BIOS parameters are fully applied. If issues persist, consider checking for firmware updates or consulting advanced BIOS troubleshooting guides.
Would you allow it to attempt to resolve itself? A boot loop following DOCP setup is probably the motherboard working to reinforce the RAM. It might need several attempts before it stabilizes. Have you given it some time to check if it finally posts?
bought a kit in 2020 and another in 2021 with identical specifications; it functioned properly until I began adjusting settings to fix issues with Valorant (tutorials suggested regenerating secure boot keys and switching to UEFI mode or similar).
ends with a message indicating a reset to default memory settings, even though no actual changes were made.
Yes, but when putting back the other 2 (so back to 4 sticks) it goes back to looping
They’re not a single unit; you’re using two distinct kits, even if they match the same model. Compatibility issues can still arise between them. Make sure the RAM is matched correctly—same model doesn’t always mean it works together. Did the first time you added the second kit default to 2133MHz? Were you able to reset it back to 3200MHz before? You might need to tweak the timing or voltage settings manually so they function properly together.
