Hello everyone!
you guys actually helped me out quite a lot indirctly, i read a lot of the forum posts about this issue but didnt find anything that was able to help me, wich is why i made this thread.
my specs: i5 2500k, gtx 660ti, z68 rev 3, and 4x2gb of xms3 "CMX8GX3M4A1333C9" ram.
now to the problem, it first startet when i had all 4 ram slots installed, computer ran fine for a year and a half. then suddenly for no good reason when i try starting it up it kinda started up but failed after 1/2 - 2 seconds in, after it shut down again it started up and down for about 5 times. i then read a lot of forum posts abot my ram not beeing supportet in 4slot mode (wich doesnt make any sense but...) eureka it worked with only 1 stick in the first slot! i then tried to kind of "add" more sticks and what i found was that it all accepted another stick in the third slot but if i tried putting a stick in 2 or 4 it had the same problem again.. i was puzzled but didnt really think about it too much. it worked like this for about a week, when suddenly it wouldnt boot up again ._. it does the same bootup and down after 1 sec thing no matter where and how many ram sticks are inserted. i somehow got it to work again a couple of times by putting in 4 sticks and then removing them all except for 1 and 3. i managed to get into the bios. i actually did a cmos reset before all this so all the ram settings were on auto.
well the problem is now it wont even boot when i insert all four sticks and remove em again. i really need some help. thanks in advance
