My Msi 990fx motherboard might be having issues

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

I recently got a second stick of 8gb HyperX fury red ram to put into my computer, but something happened after instillation. My computer isn't booting up into the bios or showing the msi logo, it's just straight black. My monitor is a view sonic and it has an orange light when in standby and blue when it has a signal, it was orange everytime I turned it on, and my steelserieskeyboard and mouse won't turn on. My motherboard is a Msi 990fx gaming motherboard with dual channel ram slots, a Msi 960gx gaming video card, and a amd fx 6300 processor. With the ram I have four slots and put both in each one in different order and each individually in different slots and still nothing works. The ram works I know that for sure because I tested it in my brothers computer and they work, so it's just the motherboard but exactly what I don't know. Any help to fix this problem is very greatly appreciated.

1) Does the new 8GB RAM have as same speed/timing as the old one? If they had the different speed/timing, may try the 2nd step, even they had the same speed/timing.
2) Use one stick ram, go into the BIOS memory section, enable the AMD Memory Profile, check your MB manual page 3-14. Saving, exit, and shutdown the PC, install the 2nd one and boot the PC to see you still have problem or not.
Because you mixed two RAMs, I mean they are not the kit, and you will have the compatibility problem.

I tried ones stick and it does not boot up the bios or even turn on the keyboard

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

I does not boot up to bios or give signal to the monitor keyboard and mouse

Clear the CMOS by the jumper, and try again.
Can you list the RAM specifications?

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

The ram is Kingstin HyperX fury red 8gb ddr3 1866 mega hertz

cin19 · Jan 20, 2017

Because you had the fx6300, so 1866mhz is fine with that cpu. So try clear the CMOS and try boot the PC again.

cin19 · Jan 20, 2017

And may test the pc with other monitor or other GPU, I read your post again, because you said "the monitor is orange everytime I turned it on".
Also what PSU do you have?

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

I am looking through the the Manuel and I can't seem to find where the cmos is on my motherboard

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

The power supply is an evga 500 bronze

cin19 · Jan 20, 2017

What model is your MB? Check the mb layout in the manual, the jumper may label: jbat1

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

Ok that did the trick bios is up and running
Thank you so much for the help.

Isaias Gomez · Jan 20, 2017

Now I tried to boot it up to Windows and it's saying "cannot find required Map name"

cin19 · Jan 20, 2017

Make sure the boot device in connected to the 1st SATA port.
And try press "F8" to boot into the safe mode, or do the windows repair. Because the error is either from the hard drive or the OS.
I don't know which OS you had, here is the link for Startup Repair in Windows 7 http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html or for win10 "automatic repair" http://www.pcworld.com/article/3113585/windows/how-to-repair-windows-master-boot-record-and-fix-your-bricked-pc.html
