I have a cyber power that I bought from Sam’s club it’s about 1.5 years old. Motherboard is a ASUS PrimeB550 AC-HES. I am trying to upgrade the RAM it originally came with 2X8 3200 16-20-20-40. I bought 4X16 3200 16-20-30-38. I installed the new RAM booted the PC and got blank screen although the pc was running. So I removed all but one stick and tested it singularly through all 4 slots, it booted every time and recognized the RAM (although at a 2133 speed not 3200). I then tested each individual stick of RAM and they all worked fine. I tested 2 at a time 3 at a time etc all tested fine. It’s whenever I install the 4th stick I get a problem. It doesn’t matter which slot I leave empty 3 will work 4 will not.
So I grabbed the original RAM and put one of them in the empty slot. Booted up no problem. System recognized \~58GB of RAM.
I’ve updated BIOS, reset BIOS, turned off the profiles, turned on the profiles, and I still have nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

it could just be a dead a lot. i had this issue with an asus board and a thread ripper build few years ago. same exact thing. pc wouldn’t post when used in 1 of the slots , i just ended up returning the board and got a different one

It’s not just one of the slots it’s any of the slots if 4 are plugged in. I can run with 3 just fine I can run with 3 of the 16GBs and 1 of the 8’s but not 4 16’s
