so a month ago i noticed that for some reason i had 8gb of ram when i had 16gb installed. cpuz show i had 16gb installed but windows showed total ram installed as 8gb.. so 2 days ago i thought maybe my ram is in the wrong slots, so i move the ram arround and i start my pc then the screen doesn't display anything so i move the ram back and turn the pc on and the screen still doesn't show anything. so i spend about 2 hours clearing cmos and starting the pc and it finaly starts up and the screen displays i log in to windows and my pc works fine still show 8gb of ram but at this point i don't really care as long as the pc works.
a few hours later i go to sleep and switch the computer in to sleepmode. and then when i woke up i switched my pc on and there is not video again and the last hour i tried doing the same thing as i did last time but now when i power the pc on the cpu led flashes and then the dram led stays red.

i tried that atleast 10 times..i think the black slots are broken on my mobo because it worked with the blue slots im not sure what is diffrent between the two though.. but then again it worked last night and the computer was in sleep mode so i don't understand why it would brake over night
