Hey everyone! I built my PC about 7 months ago, and it was working great until recently. One day, I turned it off and when I tried to turn it back on, it just wouldn’t boot properly. I checked the BIOS settings and adjusted the voltage and frequency to automatic. It ended up lowering the speed, but doesn’t boot at all when I try to set it higher. Now, it seems like my PC won’t work with two RAM sticks anymore. I’ve reseated the components and everything seems fine, but I’m concerned. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any solutions? Here are my specs:
– Phantom Gaming 4 B550
– Ryzen 7 5700x
– 4060
– 500gb SSD
P.S. Sorry if my English isn’t perfect; it’s not my first language.

You might need to try some troubleshooting combinations. Start by testing each RAM stick in all the slots to see if one of them is defective or if one of the slots isn’t working properly. Also, remember that using two sticks next to each other can sometimes cause issues, so make sure to space them out correctly, like 1+3 or 2+4. I hope that helps!
Have you tested each RAM stick individually? I had a similar problem recently where one of my sticks was faulty. When I used them one at a time, they worked fine, but together they caused issues. Definitely check that out! Also, ensure you’re using the correct slots; for two sticks, it’s usually best to use slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 to ensure compatibility.
Thanks for the tips! I tested them separately, and they both work perfectly alone. But when I tried using both together, my PC just wouldn’t boot. Any other ideas?

Thanks! I actually did try that, and they work great individually. But when I pair them, it just won’t boot. I’m looking for any more suggestions!
