PLEASE DISREGARD- Decided to just upgrade everything and start fresh. Thank you.
I have spent the last 6 hours troubleshooting my PC after simply replacing a CPU which had died- no upgrade, just replacing an I5-3470 with same make/model.
After much ado, I can get it to fully start Windows 10, but with only 1 of my original sticks of RAM. Both sticks of ram will work, if I alternate them out in the socket, so they are both good.
But when I put both sticks in, no post, no beep. Fans and HDs are going, but monitor feed is nil.
I have followed every step in the great guide here- XMP set for Memory, Bios Updated, CMOS reset, PSU tested with another PC.
So in a nutshell, until I did Step 6 in this post http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems I had no signal/post beep at all, for good measure I did finish out the list.
So my question is this, now that I am down to one stick, how do I get them both working together again?
MB- ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX ,
CPU- I5-3470,
RAM-2 Sticks DDR3 1600 Viper Extreme 8GB (px38g1600c11)
All components, except for CPU I have been using for years with no issues.
Memtest86 running now, 3 passes with zero errors so far..... so I am thinking my memory should be OK, but even on successful start-ups Windows is acting unstable and freezing up or crashing to restart after random lengths of time.
