    Built a new pcMsi pro b650 wifiRyzen 7700xCorsair 2x16gb 5600mhzNvidia geforce 4070 ventus x3 ocWd 1 tb nvme I had a lot of trouble getting it to run. Eventually I managed it to output display with 1 ram installed in slot 2 priority per manual. I was able to install windows 10 pro and all drivers for cpu, mobo, and gpu. Whenever I add the second ram I get blue screens of death when I login to my windows acc with my pin and sometimes before windows even bootedErrors: - page fault in non paged area - memory managementAt the moment im running memtest since I cant get into windows with 2 sticks

    Windows 10 Update Only Works With 1 RAM stick

    Didn't notice this particular issue anywhere else on here. Windows 10 recently downloaded an update which required a restart. After the restart I got caught the dreaded BSOD restart loop, each time with a different error (IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal, Memory_management,
    page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ...etc). It was different every time. I'm a fairly experienced computer user/troubleshooter, so I managed to narrow the problem down to a RAM issue. Thinking that one of the RAM sticks was faulty and fearing that my motherboard
    had fried somehow I took out one of the RAM sticks to start. Eureka! The computer booted as if nothing had happened, albeit a little slowly due to having 50% of the RAM it usually had. So, I put the other RAM stick back in by itself to see if that was just
    a faulty stick. Windows started normally again. I tried putting both sticks in a variety of configurations, both for dual channel and not. Windows would not start regardless of the 2 stick configuration, but would start with only one stick no matter which
    stick it was or where I put in on my motherboard. Next step: I re-formatted and installed Windows 7. All of a sudden both sticks work and recognize the full 16GB. I try re-upgrading to Windows 10, and it gets stuck right back in the restart loop with 2 sticks
    of RAM. I have since tried other RAM sticks from my other computer and it doesn't matter what capacity, speed, latency ...etc, with 2 RAM sticks Windows 10 will not boot, but will with one. As of this time I have reverted back to Windows 7 and all is well,
    but I liked that Windows 10 was a bit faster and worked better with my remote monitor. I can post specifics about my PC if needed, but it really isn't relevant. The fact is: it was working just fine with 2 sticks of RAM until the latest update, and ceased
    to work afterwards. Is this a known issue with Windows 10 that I just need to wait out until its fixed?

  3. Windows blue screening with 2 sticks of ram installed, works with 1 in any slot and both sticks work as long as they are on their own.

    No but I cannot boot to the operating system with 2 sticks installed as it will BSOD instantly, right now I did what you said, uninstalled gpu drivers, reinstalled them then restarted made sure everything was working then shut down, waited 5min then installed the other ram stick and now my pc wont even boot to BIOS. Is there a point in testing the ram if its just 1 stick? i have tested if my pc works with both the ram modules individually and my pc performed fine without a single BSOD.

    RAM not detected

    Recently I bought a new 4GB DDR4 RAM stick for my pc with the hope of doubling it, previously I had one 4GB stick. I bought the same brand same model RAM (Crucial Basics 4GB DDR4 RAM, model number: CB4GU2666). When I installed it into the other memory slot of the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H, rev 2.0, has two memory slots, dual-channel configuration) and tried to boot up, it disappointed me. It didn't boot up. But the fans (CPU fan, power supply fan, and the cabinet fan) were moving.

    Firstly I thought that the RAM is faulty, but it isn't. When I replaced the old RAM and put it into that slot (slot 2), it finely boots up. So the new RAM is okay.

    Case 1: Any RAM (one at a time) in slot 1, the system does not boot up.

    Case 2: Any RAM (one at a time) in slot 2, the system boots up and works fine.

    Case 3: Putting the two RAMs in both slots i.e. the new into slot 1 and the old into slot 2 or the new into slot 2 and the old into slot 1, the system doesn't boot up. The same happens as case 1. It seems strange to me! If the slot 1 is not detecting the RAM, the system ought to boot up as the slot 2 works fine. The slot 2 not only denies to detect RAM but also preventing to boot up (as another slot has a RAM) whenever I put a RAM into it.

    Please suggest what I should do
