Hi, guys

I have a strange problem. My PC boots up with 3 sticks., but it refuses to boot up with 4.


I believe I have the XMP profile on. Sticks are identical.

The RAM in slots A1,A2,B1 show up when I boot the PC with 3 sticks.

I did not move the stick in slot B1.

The RAM in slots A1 and A2 show up when I boot the PC with 4 sticks. I get a black screen when I try to boot the PC with 4 sticks.

Anyone know what the issue could be? thank you
 
I would try swapping one of the functional RAM into the slot 4. If it goes into a black screen again then potentially the slot is bad. If it boots then the RAM may be bad. Also, can you provide the mobo information.
 
that ^^ and yeah can you give some more info
to start, make sure that both sets work by swapping them and testing in the known working slots
 
After the sticks are tested turn the XMP profile off and leave everything at auto to let the JDEC standards load to see if that works. Won't hurt to bump up the voltage slightly while trying as well.

(y)more voltage was going to be my next suggestion
