Linked thread, 23.
Tried breadbording to see why my computer would only POST with 1 ram stick and not two.
(Both ram sticks manage to reach BIOS when by themselves.)
(Already tried going to BIOS and activating XMP, didnt work).
(Also tried resetting CMOS and it didnt work).
I followed these steps and pulled everything except for the motherboard, heatsink + fan, psu, and motherboard speaker.
I got 3 long beeps so I proceeded to installing 1 stick of ram.
(In the right spot, installed correctly, and none of the cpu pins are bent.)
When I booted with the 1 stick of ram, no beeps were heard.
"Silence indicates that the RAM is shorting out the PSU (very rare)."
posted from jsc.
So I have come to the conclusion that my ram is shorting out my PSU.
What can I do to solve this?
