No Mobo Speaker."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Weirdest issue I&#8217;ve had. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m overlooking some trivial thing. It&#8217;s a new setup for my brother. The setup is as follows:<br \/>\n[list] Mobo: ASRock Z270 KILLER SLI\/AC LGA 1151. [\/list]<br \/>\n[list] CPU: i5-7500 Kaby Lake Quad Core 3.4 1151. [\/list]<br \/>\n[list] HDD: WD Blue 1TB. [\/list]<br \/>\n[list] ]PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2. [\/list]<\/p>\n<p>The issue is the RAM. I tried 2x8GB Ballistix 3000mhz, after having been told that it will downclock itself. This is where the strangeness began; every slot on the MOBO works fine with this RAM, with just one stick inserted. However, no matter which order I put them in, even incorrect ones (1221, etc.), it will not work with two sticks. Both sticks function fine on their own. I decide, fine, 3000mhz isn&#8217;t listed specifically on the mobo specs, maybe it&#8217;s having an issue downclocking. That RAM was Ballistix Tactical 8GB DDR4 3000. So, I swapped it out, and tried Ballistix Sport 2x8GB 2400mhz, which looks like it matches the CPU and Mobo requirements. Neither stick will work, no matter which slot or slots they&#8217;re in, either on their own or together. It simply will not boot to BIOS. All I get are fans, lights, and nothing else. Keyboard doesn&#8217;t light up, monitor gets no signal. I&#8217;m completely at a loss here. I&#8217;ve reset CMOS more times than I can count. I tried going into UEFI under the good RAM (which I no longer have; exchanged it for the new RAM) and playing with the settings to manually set the mhz, but it didn&#8217;t have any effect, except making me reset CMOS and refum I missing something re: compatibility, or have somehow managed to screw up RAM purchases twice in a row? Thanks for all your help, guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":20},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9812","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9812"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
