I must have received a broken stick for ram because I reinstalled both and swapped the way they were put in and nothing happened. computer had black screen and nothing even worked then I flipped it back and nothing worked again. Then i put it in the black slots instead of grey and nothing would work again then I reset my computer and installed ram in same spots as before and only one 8gb ram is popping up. I hit the MemOk! button and it said it was successful but still did not work and only have 8gb. Should I buy 2 more sticks and install them then throw these away or what do I do?
The RAM is supposed to go in the grey slots.
Try one stick only in the 2nd slot away from the CPU (grey slot) ...see if it works. If it doesn't work you have a bad RAM stick.
If it does..try the
other stick in the same slot. If it doesn't work you have a bad RAM stick.
Repeat the above for the 4th slot counting away from the CPU.
Doing this will help you isolate the problem...whether it's a bad stick or a bad slot.
If BOTH sticks work individually in both of the grey slots...then you are not seating them properly. If one stick is bad or both sticks..just RMA the whole set.
If one of the slots, turns out to be bad...just RMA the motherboard.
In your BIOS you can manually set the RAM frequency and timings, on the Extreme Tweaker tab. <---- This should not affect how much RAM you see though.
/e Your RAM timings are: 14-14-14-34-2N, and the frequency is 3000Mhz.
