My motherboard's main channel is slightly damaged, and it shuts off from time to time.
Is it possible to change the main Ram slots?

For reference, my mobo is a Z97P-D3.

Theres 240 tiny little pins soldiered into the motherboard, if you can pop out all of them and re-soldier new ones you would be a superhero in my book.

I would try to use the other slots or buy a new motherboard.

Are all 4 ram slots used at the moment or 2 only? If you used only 2 then remove modules from there and plug it in other two, the ones that are not damaged.

No, you can't replace damaged ram slots from the motherboard.

You mean to move the ram from the current slots to the unoccupied ones, right? I tried that, and it didn't work :(

Right except most current boards if you're only running 1 or 2 sticks of RAM the board will only work with them in specific slots.

Sounds like he needs a new motherboard.
