Hello community. I've done some research of my own and went through the "first time boot" troubleshooting forum before posting here and now I don't know what to do now so here I am, scared I may have to spend more money on my first PC build. When powering on, I get a loop of 3 long beeps, and pause for about 1-2 seconds. I've found that this may be a problem with my RAM but when inserting one stick to the farthest slot, it goes through this beep loop. When I put a stick of RAM into the closest slot to the CPU, it boots in silence. When I put them both together, it goes through the beep loop. My guess is that something is wrong with the sockets on the MOBO, but I'm hoping I don't have to resort to replacing my MOBO. Is there anything I can do? My computer spec's are below;
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
