Booting problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

I recently got a new PC, and my problem is, when i press the power button, the dram led on my mainboard is on for exactly 30 sec, then it boots like normal an I could use the PC. I read others fixed the problem with other ram sticks, already tried that, but doesn't fix the problem for me.

My current specs:
ASRock Z590 Pro4
i7-11700K
Zotac RTX 2070 Super
32GB (2x 16384MB) G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16-18-18-38 (F4-3200C16D-32GIS)

Sorry, when my English isn't good.
But maybe someone here could help me find the source of the problem.

Thanks in advance

	Have you tried booting with just 1 RAM stick to see if either have an issue when booting? You are in the proper slot for your RAM?

	I just tested booting with 1 ram stick, for each slot but still always the same problem. I am using ram slot a2 and b2, as the manual says they are priority 1.

	So you are saying it hangs on post for 30seconds then boots?? If so have you changed settings in BIOS? Perhaps try a reset of BIOS.

	thanks. so i reset the bios and also found the setting which causes the problem. I set the ram to DDR4-3200, because the ram max speed is 3200 and the max ram speed the cpu should be able to handle is also 3200. I tested a bit and found that DDR4-2933, is the highest setting which doesn't cause the problem, but still i don't understand why 3200 is causing problems.
