If I insert more than 8gb ram, no display, It DID work

laklek · Aug 10, 2015

Hey,

I have recently upgraded my ram from 2x4gb to 4x4gb.

A few weeks later (now) when i restarted my pc after reinstalling windows 10, it didn't start up because of 3 continues beeps.

(long beep) (long beep) (long beep) (pause) (repeat)

Found out it was a ram error and started expirementing with the ram, turns out all 4 ram works perfect solo, even with 2x4gb it works fine, but when I insert the third stick it doesn't show anything and sometimes it beeps.

I did try resetting my CMOS, updating my bios.

CPU: fx-6300
Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury 1866mhz 4gb (tried to downclocked to 1600)
Mobo: Asrock 970 pro3 r2.0

Why this is a priority is because this was a server, server is currently running on a set of Pi's

If I understand correctly, the thing that caused the change was the installation of Windows 10, but the beeping is coming from the BIOS, before you reach Windows? Is that right?

All are the Hyper X Fury? If so try the DRAM at 1.57 and set the CPU/NB voltage to 1.3 - they may simply not want to play together

I'm not sure, I had to restart my pc for gpu driver, yes it beeps b4 windows

Tradesman1 :

how can I set that if I can't access my mobo when all sticks are connected?

Tradesman1 · Aug 10, 2015

Are they all the same brand/model of Fury? two sets of sticks? if so, start with one set of 2 sticks go into BIOS and change voltages as mentioned, save, exit, shut down - add the other two sticks and give it a try

Tradesman1 :

They are exactly the same, just bought on a different time.

So the other two sticks to be added later don't need bios change seperatly. I will try when I can in a few hours.

Let us know how it goes

Tradesman1 :

Whaaat, how does this make this work?

Thanks a lot! Like seriously I thought my cpu died after overclocking it.

Mixed sticks don't always want to play nice, often a little additional voltage gets them going correctly

@Tradesman1: Where did you get those numbers? I'd like to be able to figure this out when someone else has the same problem. tnx.

Voltage increases? Lot's and lots and lots of practice and working with different mobos, CPUs and sets of DRAM....Whenever I get a rig in for repairs, upgrades, etc....if time permits I like to try other components (mainly DRAM and GPUs) to see how they interact. Here on the forums I try to give what I think good increases and depending sometimes on the conservative side. Other times if user sounds in hurry or I know my schedule will be keeping me away for awhile I might go on the higher (but safe) side, as we can always lower things incrementally if stable.
