Good morning guys,

I built up a pc last week and I'm getting the 'No signal' error on my monitor. I found a fix but it's weird.
So im running 3x4GB DDR3 ram on a 'ex display' gigabyte H97M-D3H now when I take slot 3's ram out then put it back in and click power I get signal on my screen. I must do this every morning.

Is this faulty ram since it works when I put it back in. It also runs in the slot 4. Faulty ram slot perhaps? Or faulty ram. if this is possible.

Thanks in advance

I would say the slot is faulty, if the ram is working then its the motherboard, and it sounds like if you move it to a different slot then it works just fine, but test it in a friends pc or a different one you have, otherwise your motherboard is...
