Hello! This is my first post, I've checked a lot of the other posts about this and none of the solutions have really worked for me. So, I figured I would give it my own shot as I have no clue what's going on.
Motherboard: ASUS m4a785td-v evo (supports 16GB ram)
Processor: AMD Phenom IIx4 955
Windows 10 x64 bit
Old RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
New RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
The RAM I had before was 2x2GB ram (4GB total) that I've had forever. I tried to upgrade my ram before, but I think I got the wrong kind and returned it. THIS TIME, I got the EXACT SAME RAM except 2x4GB but it's not working.
Here is what I have tried:
Putting in only the 2 new sticks
Putting in all 4 sticks
Putting in 1 new 1 old
Putting in only 1 new stick
Putting 2 new sticks in slots #1/#2 and #1/#3
Unplug, reset CMOS battery, insert new RAM, power up
Making sure RAM is seated properly
None of these methods have worked for me, only when I put in the 2 old sticks does my PC boot. Otherwise, I don't even reach the BIOS (just a black screen), my monitor doesn't even turn on with the new sticks in, but my PC sounds like it's running.
