I've had my pc for about 4 years, it's spec ed as follows:
MSI 970 Gaming Board
AMD FX 6350 Black not OCed
AMD R9 290
2x4gb Kingston Hyperx Beast
TSXFx 550 - 80 plus
It served me fine for those 4 years however, recently I saw the ram pinned at 98% usage when playing certain games.
So I went on eBay and picked up some nearly new sticks of the same Hyperx Beast ram.
They arrived today and I went to install them in the remaining 2 slots but then the PC didn't prompt. I swapped my old ram for the new stuff in slot 1 and 3 like I had it before and it worked fine, picked up all 8gb. So I added the old stuff back in 2 and 4 then no prompt. I took out stick 2 and it booted and picked up all 12gb. Then I tried swapping them around more and now I can't get it to boot at all.
I've tried just putting in 1 stick of the new and old ram in slot 1 and then in slot 3 but I can't get it to turn on.
I get fan spin and the hard drive spins, if I don't have any ram it beeps but if I do, it won't prompt but doesn't beep.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
