Hey guys,
first my specs: processor: Intel G4560 Mainboard: ASRock H110M-DVS R3.0 Memory: 8GB DDR4 2133 CL15 crucial (CT8G4DFD8213) Graphics: Radeon RX480 Power: 400 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 10 I updated my BIOS and i think i updated all drivers. My problem is: i have 2 RAM slots in this board. If i put any of my 2 RAMs in the left spot and leave the other spot open my PC is not starting. I am no expert, it sounds like something is going on and off. Its trying to start but cant get though any process. If a video would help, i could upload it. if i put in both RAMS, the same problem occurs. if i only use the right RAM slot, everything is fine and no issues at all. So i browsed the www and i have read about the problem 2-3 times, but no one answered and no solution i could find. Hope you guys can help me, thanks a lot! Sorry for my bad english, second language.

When both RAM modules are installed are they both recognized by the system?
If you look in the users manual you will see that when only using one RAM module you are supposed to use a specific slot. If you install the RAM in the wrong slot then it may give the symptom you describe. Some boards will allow it, others will not, it depends on the generation/IMC. You only have a problem if you have installed both RAM modules and one is not working or if you are installing the RAM in the correct slot and that is not working.

When using a single RAM module you are required to use slot B1, the slot furthest from the CPU (the right slot). This information should be in the user manual but for some reason is not for your particular board.
For single channel (1 RAM module) you need to install the RAM in slot B1. If both slots are occupied the system will run in Dual Channel mode. There is nothing wrong with your board, that is just how the RAM needs to be installed for a single stick. What you describe is perfectly normal behavior for your board. I hope this alleviates your concern. Enjoy your build
