Hello, So I installed a new cpu I went from a i5 3570k to a i7 3770k after I installed the cpu I had a issue with the PC starting up. It would start up for like 10 seconds then shut down and repeat over and over. I couldn't get it to start up until I removed one of my sticks of ram and bam it started right up like nothing was wrong. When I put the stick back in it does back to starting up and shutting down.I put the other ram in the same spot and it was fine so the ram isnt bad I even tried different slots with both A1 and B1 A2 and B2 and nothing fixed it but I could a single stick in any of the slots and it will start up just fine. Any ideas? do I need to reset something in bios or change anything?

I''m using a 850 watt Seasonic psu its less then a year old. I'm 100% sure its not the psu. Reason I say that is the issue was present even when I had the gpu not hooked up.
