I'm assembling a PC for another person and I ran into a weird problem:
This PC just won't post with his Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK8GX4M1A2400C16) memory stick, but posts just fine if I toss a cheapo ADATA stick I randomly took out from a different machine.
I suspected the Vengeance stick might be faulty, but I tossed it into an intel box and with only that mem stick present, it posts just fine.
Using that ADATA stick, I upgraded the BIOS on his board, but that didn't solve it. Likewise, using that ADATA stick I forced lowest possible memory speed and upped the voltage, but it still won't POST with the Vengeance.
I tried re-seating it at least a dozen of times, too.
I'm not sure what to try anymore.
Anyone has any ideas?
Corsair lists this module as compatible with Ryzen in their Ryzen compatibility page, so I suppose it should work. (The mobo manufacturer does not list it as compatible, but appears they only bothered to test 2 and 4 module kits of 16GiB or more, skipping single module kits altogether. But the 2x8GiB kit equivalent of these same sticks is listed in the QVL, so the single stick should be good, too.)
For reference, it's an ASRock M320-HDV R3.0 with Ryzen R3 2200G. BIOS version was 1.00 at first, but I upgraded to latest, i.e. 1.70
