Hey Folks,
So yesterday I built a PC for my friend. The PC won't boot if I have 2 Sticks of RAM plugged in. However if I remove 1 Stick it'll boot normally. I've tried every Slot and Combination but it still won’t work with 2 RAM Sticks :( whenever I put 2 in, the EZDebug LEDs for RAM and CPU are flashing and the PC isn’t booting. I’ve removed the CPU also but there are no bent Pins and the cooler isn’t cranked down too tight since I’ve read in other threads this could be the problem. I really don’t know what else to try so maybe u guys can help.
The Specs are:
MB: MSI Z370-A-PRO
CPU: Intel i5-8600K
RAM: T-Force Nighthawk, red LED, DDR4-3000, CL16 - 16 GB Kit
PSU: bequiet! 700Watt
Any help would be appreciated,
Julian
 
Solution
with the ram whe nyou had two sticks in did you have xmp profile on or off. were the stick trying to run at 3000 speed or 2100. at 2100 speed the two stick would be defaulted to intel default power per stcik. if you set xmp profile on first and both sticks did not post. it may be you have to raise the dram voltage. check to see what the ram voltage is needed at max speed.

I already tried that and it won't work. ive basically tried every slot combination and it simply wont boot whenever i have 2 sticks plugged in. However if i remove one stick so theres only one left it'll boot, no matter which slot the Stick is plugged into.

Okay, I'll try that later and i will also try some other DDR4 300MHZ ram sticks and c if they are working.
I'll let u know if it worked ASAP
