  5. Wait for a minute or so and turn your PC back on again.
  6. Next, install the RAM RGB software and its plug-in.
  7. For some software, such as iCUE, you’ll need to toggle the Enable Full Software Control option.
  8. After that, download Armoury Crate and install it.

Some users recommend installing just Armoury Crate and running the software updates from the software, so you can try that as well.

2. Use Aura Sync instead

  1. Remove all RGB software from your PC.
  2. Next, go to the Aura Sync download page, and download the standalone version.

3. Reset BIOS
