Hi guys, I recently built my pc and tried to post it and it would just turn on for three seconds then turn off and keep repeating. I had no idea what it was so I told my friend about and he suggested I try it only in the 4th slot and magically it posts, but the issue is it won't post with the RAM in any other slot or two sticks, so at the moment I'm stuck at 4gb. I don't have an operating system yet on it so, I can't go into the BIOS. If you guys have any ideas please tell me, I have been worried sick about it. Oh and I have an MSI z97 gaming 5 and 8gb of G.Skill Ripjaws RAM.

okay it's an hour drive i'll screw around with the bios for a little while and if need to I'll make the trek over there and demand to have it fixed because I bought the motherboard at Fry's too.

yeah, I'd have to agree it's just a royal pia and if there was a chance of a simple fix I'd might as well ask. I'll mark this as solved.
