My Dell 7820 only runs 4 sticks of 3200 ram 32g clocked as 2933. If I put ram 5 and/or 6 in it, it won't bios. I get "Bios repairing flash", then a constant "no ram flash." Bios v. 2.39
It's supposed to run 6 sticks of 3200 clocked at 2933 by the CPU.
No matter which of the 6 sticks of ram I use by swapping them out and around, it'll run only 4 sticks, max.
I haven't pulled the jumper to reset bios, but I have used the bios reset inside of the bios utility to set it back to factory settings and also to set it to the latest bios setting, all to no avail.
I'm stumped I do not have the same brand of ram in all slots, but they all will work independently in any order as long as I only use 4 sticks.
Replace the size 2032 battery if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. Bad batteries cause BIOS issues, and BIOS could be the reason for not recognizing 6 sticks of RAM.
If still no luck, reseat the CPU; during which check for any bent socket pins.
@JOcean It is a 7820 as my name implies. Single X6230 with 6 slots. 3200 speed ram. Every piece of ram will run in the 7820 in any order as long as I only use 4 sticks.
@Chino de Oro I haven't pulled the jump, but I have use the bios reset inside of the bios utility to set it bac to factory and also to the latest bios setting.
Well sir, I do believe that you figured it out. I removed the CPU and best I could tell there are some bent over pins.
Not being one to give up I attempted to straighten them. Now it only reads 3 sticks of ram. lmao
I guess I'll get another motherboard or else just accept it only runs 96gigs now and stop fooling with it. I wanted to use it for video processing, but instead may get another unit and just use this one to surf the web? I have a Xeon Silver 4114 and a couple sticks of 8gig ram I can put in it for that purpose which should work just fine.
@Mi 7820 Enderezar los pines doblados del zócalo es un trabajo para hacer con una buena lupa fija con luz y herramientas tales como un aguja con el ojal cortado en forma de garfio sujeta en el extremo de un lapiz para poder mover delicadamente los pines desviados y devolverlos a su sitio. Me pasó con una placa base de IMAC de 2013 que solo reconocía 2 módulos RAM y era por varios pines doblados en el zócalo de la placa base que no hacían contacto correcto con el procesador. Los doblé al corregir la posición del procesador en vez de colocarlo perfecto a la primera.
