Color me shocked (and thankful)! I came here after trying to do a simple RAM upgrade by adding a new 16GB RAM stick to my Lenovo tower PC to bring it up to 32 GB. I have done this dozens of times on other PCs for myself and others with no issues. This time, however, the new memory card caused total boot failure with beeping and flashing error lights. Could not even get into BIOS. I reseated the new RAM module with the same result. I swapped the old and new RAM in the original slot and the new RAM worked perfectly. I swapped slots with the old and new RAM with both plugged and hard fail again. At this point, I started searching for help and found this video. It was concise and well done but I thought it was redundant to what I had already done. Then I read the comments and person after person reported that the compressed air fixed the problem. Being the "wise, old" person that I am, I discarded this info since this PC is very clean and I have NEVER had dust cause a RAM slot failure in almost 40 years of PC build and repair work. BUT, I am not totally STUPID and I am capable of learning so I thought maybe it's worth a try. I actually did not have a compressed air can but used a camera lens air bulb to puff some air into the slot. To my amazement, this simple procedure did fix the issue. There must have been the tiniest spec of dust in that 2nd slot and it caused the error even after multiple plugging and replugging. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to post this video and teach an old dog a new trick.

@@AyCartii If after a RAM installation, your computer started beeping/looping/failing to boot, that means something's wrong, either at least one of the modules and/or slots are bad, typically. In the BIOS, though, underneath wherever the RAM settings are, you can check the timings and speeds it is set to. Make sure they're the same as your RAM's manufacturer's specifications. If they're different, this can lead to boot failures.

Very likely it's an issue with either the RAM modules or the slots they're in. If you've already blew out the slots for dust, reseated the modules, and reset the CMOS on the motherboard, there unfortunately isn't much left to do except troubleshoot whether it's the modules' or slots' fault. If any of the modules went bad, replacing them should solve the problem. If it's any of the slots, the motherboard would need to be replaced if you were otherwise unable to increase your RAM capacity with the one you currently have.

PLEASE HELP‼️ I checked all my ram slots one by one and also checked all my ram sticks one by one everything works But when I put all four of them together then the system starts beeping and no display Help please Running any three ram sticks at one time in any of the slots work but as soon as I put 4 ram sticks the system starts crying

Try resetting the CMOS (I currently don't have a video on this, but basically you take the coin battery out of the motherboard for a few seconds then put it back in. This will not affect your system's programs or files).

I just built my pc all new parts but the ram will not working in proper slots and only 1 stick works in b2 and if i use the consair ram i just bought they work in b1and b2 but not where they supposed to work. And when i load up cant run any games it instantly crashes. Dram light is on motherboard when i try to put ram in any other slots

If after resetting the CMOS you still cannot get any of the RAM to work in those slots, the board may be defective. If you built everything new, you should be able to get it replaced.

My ASUS motherboard only likes the RAM that came with the board, 2 sticks of 1G that have cooling loops on top of them, sticks of 2G that work in other computers will not allow the computer to boot up, any ideas?
@Torqcx3 ай бұрын
If the sticks (modules) that don't work are the exact correct specifications your motherboard specifies it can handle, and they work in other systems, try resetting the system's CMOS and try again with the modules. If you still don't get any luck, those modules may just not like that board.

@@Torqcx I was able to get it, instead of where the old ram sticks were, they needed to be in the other two slots. Which is weird because my pc booted up when the ram sticks were placed in the slots where the old ram was. It was when I restarted it that caused the issue. Now everything is working fine thanks for the video and the help and the fast reply :)

Without more information, I cannot determine whether the issues you've been having are RAM-related or not. If you've already troubleshot the RAM and are still having the same issues, you will have to start testing out the other components and/or software. Good luck!

@Torqcx7 ай бұрын
You would have to troubleshoot each individual slot and each individual module if you'd want to completely rule out what is causing the system to fail to boot. Unfortunately there isn't really another way to do this.

@@Torqcx i fixed it. i removed my large cpu cooler and i took each ram stick out and placed it back in one by one. i did this over and over again and on my last try i placed all 4 ram sticks in and told myself if it doesn't boot I'm finished trying and it booted up. I'm only worried if this over works my pc now. because my fans are spinning and making a lot more noise now that i have 4 ram sticks instead of 2. any idea why my pc is making more noise?

@Torqcx7 ай бұрын
@@libanarab5883 As long as your system can successfully boot with all the RAM, it shouldn't be overworking it; the fact that the fans sound louder now is a new one to me, though. Is it your heatsink fan(s) that sped up or your case fans? All-in-all though I honestly wouldn't sweat it, the system may just be attempting to compensate for the extra power it is now supplying to the additional hardware installed.

If you already tried cleaning the slots out, and tested each RAM module you have in each slot individually and you still are not having any luck, the slots may be bad and the board would have to be replaced if you'd want to make use of them.

@Torqcx Жыл бұрын
It's possible the teeth of the RAM card became damaged, but I'd first start but blowing out the RAM slots in the motherboard. It's likely dust/debris got in there and is disrupting the contact between it and the module
@cheesegrater.. Жыл бұрын
@@Torqcx I did not expect that fast of a reply. Wow thanks. But after some troubleshooting it’s most likely the actual stick of ram itself as I moved a different stick into that slot and removed the one that I was having problems with and it boots up straight away so I either damaged it somehow or it was already a bit damaged when I got my pc. Edit: after looking at the stick of ram I saw a scratch on it. Is it possible that the scratch is the problem or is something different. Either way imma buy a new stick of ram but thanks for the advice. Edit 2: some how I have managed to get all ram sticks working again somehow. I guess they weren’t full inserted but they couldn’t go any further without damage. The last time I tried it all I did was give a little nudge/wiggle towards 1 direction and they all work now…. Tbh I have no idea what has happened and how I’ve fixed it but I thank you for your assistance.

You can swap the modules around however you'd like but there isn't a guarantee you'll get dual-channel. If a slot is broken, unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done
