Hi
I recently installed some more ram into my PC. I have a single 8gb stick of regular Crucial RAM and two twin 4gb Crucial Ballistix Tactical sticks of RAM. This all started when I removed my sticks and tried the new single stick alone. It worked fine but when I went to put my old sticks back into my PC, it would only recognize one.
Now for some reason only one slot (the one closest to the CPU) appears to working and when I try and boot the PC using only the other slot, I get an infinite boot loop with no signal at all, indicating that it isn't recognising the RAM at all. I've tried all three RAM sticks in each socket and I get the same results each time (PC Booting up in the first slot and looping in the second) I can run my PC just fine using only the one slot but I'd like to use the extra RAM if I have it right?
Things I tried:
Resetting CMOS
Cleaning out the RAM slots with compressed air
Looking inside the slot (no visable damage)
Raising DIMM voltage up from 1.5 to 1.59 (didn't really wanna go above that)
My motherboard is the Z77 Stinger Mini ITX motherboard and it only has two DIMM sockets so I have no other sockets to compare.
Thanks.
