Hello all,

Today I received my new Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (2x8Gb) 3200MHz C16 Ram and placed it in my desktop to replace my old Corsair Vengeance DDR4 (2x8Gb) 2666MHz LED Red Ram .Upon trying to start my desktop after replugging my periperhal cables back in, my monitor no longer picked up any display from my desktop.
I am unsure of a solution and would really appreciate some help here from you guys...

Try to boot with a single ram in B slot, enter BIOS, restore defaults. Close pc and install second ram in D slot, see if it boots up. Asus has a bios update that improves ram compatibility, check here version 1203

Thanks so much for the the help guys. After following the advice from Tollis_GR of starting with a single stick of ram in DIMM slot B1 my PC started fine and I was able to enter my bios and successfully change my DRAM frequency to 3200. Really appreciate it!
