Hello.
After installing a Cooler Master Nepton 240m on my i7-6700k, my computer stopped booting into Windows, or even BIOS. I checked all the cables and everything, but the problem seems to have something to do with the RAM? I have 4x4gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666mhz.
The problem is that the computer won't boot when there is something in the first 2 rows of RAM, but when I remove the two first 4gb sticks it boots fine with the remaining 8gb of ram.
The motherboard is an MSI z170a gaming m3.
I have tried updating the BIOS as I read somewhere that might help, however, it didn't.
Could I potentially have damaged something during the install process of the cpu cooler? During the install, I didn't remove anything other than the old cooler from the motherboard.
Best Regards,
Andreas
