So me being dumb and not really being good at building PC's I messed up. I currently have an ASUS motherboard and 4 x 4 GB sticks of RAM. Whenever I have 2 sticks in the motherboard it runs fine and all is well, I don't have any problems. However whenever I try to use all 4 of my sticks the RAM LED (The little light thats a yellow/orange color) either flashes on and off bout every 3 seconds or completely stays on. Also the baord does not post and go into BIOS or start Windows or anything. Obviously it's a RAM problem, but I don't know what to do ;/
And just to add to it, and old build I had I did the same thing. I bought 4 sticks and they didn't work all together, only 2 at a time. Turns out they were not compatible the the board I had, so this time around I made sure that they were! I know they work with my board! So obviously the problem is lack of knowledge. I'm missing something and don't know what to do.
Here are the specs:
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C17Q-16GVK
ASUS PRIME Z270-A LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Motherboards - Intel
Intel Core i5-6600 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662I56600 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530
