hi i recently re applied the thermal paste to my i7 950 chip as temps were getting hot and i read that this is the right thing to do, however after i did this and turned on the cpu it said a new chip had been installed bla bla i selected the load defaults option as i havent a clue about these things lol, anyways it booted up fine but then i noticed that every time i restart the computer it will power up, lights on and fans spin, for a couple of seconds then it will cut off, it does this for three times then it boots up as normal, so i tried unplugging ram sticks and it boots fine with a 2gb stick in and it also boots fine with the 2nd 2gb stick in, its when i install my third stick i get the problem, it was fine before applying the paste (a small bit in the centre of chip),oh im sorry my motherboard is an asus rampage 3 gene, it has 3 red ram slots and 3 black ones the ram was installed in the 3 red slots, i cant now have my 6gb ram only 4 
, does anybody know a fix for this maybe a setting has changed or something, i have swapped all the sticks around its definately not a bad stick its definately something to do with having all 3 installed.
thank you in advance for any replies
p.s sorry about the bad grammar lol
