I have built a pc today.

I have a 6700k, Gigabyte Z170 k3-eu motherboard and 2x8gb of cosair lpx 2666mhz RAM.

When i boot then PC with both of the ram sticks, the motherboard's light turn on, fans start spinning, no lights on the mouse, keyboard nor monitor turn on.

After a while the PC will restart and keep doing it, the PC just restart loops.

When i boot with just 1 stick of RAM, the PC works fine and it posts without issues.
I have tried the other stick and it works fine.

I tried putting with both of the RAM sticks in different slots and the same issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance
 
Solution
How badly are the pins bent? About how many bent pins are there? You can try to straighten them out with the tip of a mechanical pencil (with the lead removed).
