Hey.
I was stupid enough not wearing a ESD wrist strap while working inside my computer and noticed when trying to start it started fine but there was no connection to my monitor (i.e. blackscreen).
I opened up the side panel and saw that a red LED light (named DRAM_ LED on my mb) was lightning continuously.
That light indicates that something is wrong with either the slots or the ddr modules and after some testing it now appears that the two dimm slots to the left (A1 & A2) doesnt work. The modules works fine.
Now to my question!
Since the dimm slots to the left doesnt seem to work, can i just install my 2*8Gb ddr3 to the not matching color dimm slots next to each other (One is blue, the other black)?
And why are they having different colors?
My system is pretty old so if this works, with no degrade in performance, i am happy with it as it is and will take a lesson from my mistake in the future.
Sorry for my bad english, im not an english speaking person. (From Sweden).
