So i built a pc. Turned it on. Then saw that it only detected one ram. So i looked in my pc and saw that i didnt seat one stick of ram correctly. So i fixed it. And turned my pc on. Fans on. Power LED on. But my monitor said no signal.

So i messed with this for a while and tryed different combinations of ram going in different slots. After i finnally was able to get signal on my monitor again it still only showed one ram detected. So i messed with it some more and when it went on again it showed the ram that was detected was in a different slot that it had previously.

Im stumped so if anyone knows what to do.

Yep, low voltages, low current so needs good contact and so it takes some force. Notches on the stick and plastic catches on the bus have to click in perfectly and that's a sign it's inserted right.
Please make sure your power is all the way off when changing and re-seating them or damage may result.
