I've recently started building my own desktop, and while I'm completely new to it, I haven't had any issues until I started trying to install the ram. I've lined up the small slit in the ram with the little plastic piece in the slot, and despite putting pressure on both sides, I can't seem to get the ram to fit.
I made sure there was nothing was in the slot blocking the ram from sliding in, but the gold pins at the bottom of the ram are still visible, and I can't get the motherboard to properly lock. And I've also looked up photos, so I know how it's supposed to look.
My motherboard is an Asus M5a97 r2.0 AM3+, and my ram is G.Skill Sniper 8gb(2x4gb). Any help would be much appreciated!
