Aurora R10, upgrading to Amazon 32GB 3200MHz ram
I just received my Ryzen R10 and wanted to upgrade the base 16GB 2666MHz ram it came with to a set I got off Amazon 32GB 3200MHz. After installing it in the dimm1 and dimm2 slots and removing the old sticks, the computer would not boot and the power button flashed twice which I read meant that no ram was detected.
Any thoughts

The Ram Slots are not 1 2 3 4

The white Ears are the first bank and DIMM SLOT 0 is the 3rd slot with white ears.

Running them in the same color tabs gets you the benefit of dual channel operation, but it's not required to be like that to POST. You do have to push the sticks in all the way until you hear the tabs click, though.

@mcraig150 Did you ever figure out your issue? I’m having same problem, but with 32GB HyperX kit listed as compatible on Kingston website. Was yours a compatibility issue?

I covered this pretty extensively in the thread below. My situation was for an R11, but the same principles apply. In the end, I used the same Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM that you purchased, though I used 4x8GB so I could populate all channels.
