I’m setting up a work PC for Excel and other tasks. It’s a Ryzen 3 build with a 3000MHz 8GB RAM stick. The motherboard uses DRAM, but it won’t boot. When I connected my main PC’s Trident ZX, it worked. I also tried swapping the new RAM on my current machine, and it booted too. The issue seems to be with the RAM not working properly in this setup. What might be causing this?

Various CPUs may require distinct memory controllers, possibly due to compatibility issues.

It seems the system fails to start when the new RAM is added but works with the original build. Test all connections on the board and inspect the CPU pins—any damage there might indicate a faulty board or defective dims.

For clarity, here’s a concise summary:
Key specs include Ryzen 3 3200G, G.Skill Aegis 8GB DDR4, MSI B450 Pro-M2 Max. Main system runs i5 8600K, Trident Z 16GB RAM, and has Gigabyte z370 Aorus. The issue is that the new RAM sticks don’t boot properly on the work PC, showing a DRAM stopcode. Testing on the main system confirms everything works. Possible causes: faulty DIMM slots or incompatible RAM type. Ensure all connections are secure and verify pin compatibility. Consider checking motherboard compatibility before upgrading further.
