Hello everyone! I have one serious and vague problem with my current motherboard.
So, 2 weeks ago I've sold my old RAM memory, it was Kingston HyperX Blu 1600 MHz CL9 (1x8GB). I decided to buy a new one Kingston HyperX Savage 2400MHz CL11(1x8GB). I put the RAM in, that's not a rocket science, everything is clear and good. But, then I have no display on my monitor! I turned off my PC, then turned it on again and this time I've got 3 long beeps and pause... Then again... I have tried putting some different RAM modules, like HyperX Genesis 1600 MHz CL9(1x4GB), with all possible combinations like 1x4, 2x4, 3x4, 4x4... Dual Channel with A1 - B1 slots, then same with A2 - B2, and all of the slots with a single module in... Then I swapped my current GPU with other, I've put that GPU in all of the 3 PCIe slots, actually I made all of the possible combinations with RAM and GPU and there was no screen at all! I noticed that Reset SW was not connected properly, it was - + instead of + -. I disconnected it and this time my PC showed a screen, but then when I turned it off and on again, there was no screen again... I reseated a Reset SW as it should be, and it's not working again... I've tried clearing CMOS and resetting battery, but again no signs of a picture...
So, after almost two weeks without PC and with this problem, I am really pissed off and I have no idea what the hell is going on!
I thought:
- Maybe my RAM is not compatible with my mobo (I think I cannot really see Savage code - HX324C11SR/8 on ASRock memory support list, but hey, there also wasn't old HyperX Blu code on ASRock support list and it was working)
- Maybe my motherboard can't support single channel 2400MHz memory (Maybe I have to make dual channel to get it working?)
- Maybe it can't make it's first boot with 2400MHz (I thought perhaps I have to go in a BIOS somehow with other RAM, to set default RAM speed to 1333MHz, and then put my Savage back in)
- Maybe my CPU is making a problem with memory speeds (I am using FX-8320 non-oc'ed)
I would really appreciate any help from you guys, as I said, after 2 weeks of "fighting" I have a headache and I simply have no idea what is going on, anymore!
Thanks in advance!
