Hitachi 7K1000.B 500 GB 3.5' 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive Silicon Power A55 256 GB 2.5' Solid State Drive Patriot G Series Sector 5 Edition 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1333 CL9 Memory Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor Yes, I know that the PC is old, but it does the job for me.Įdit - I tried resetting the BIOS to default settings and removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in, but same issue occurs. Is there something I could do to fix this, or are the black RAM slots most likely dead? I have tried pressing the MemOK! button, but it doesn't do anything to fix it. However, putting them in the black RAM slots will cause the PC to not POST. I tested all my RAM by putting them in the blue RAM slots, and they work fine. Now, when I put all the RAM in, the PC boots up, but when I go to the BIOS, it detects all the RAM, but it doesn't utilize them all. When I put them in the black RAM slots, the PC turns on, but it doesn't POST.

I thought some of my RAM would be dead, but when I put the RAM in the blue RAM slots, the PC boots up fine. The motherboard I have is the ASUS P9X79, and there are blue and black RAM slots.
