So I started up my pc and couldn't get it to work. Turns out, one of my ram slots were broken. My mobo (asus z170 pro gaming) has DIMM_A1,2,3,4. the reccomended configuration for 2*8gb ram is 1 in DIMM_A2, and 1 in DIMM_B2. However, DIMM_A2 is broken. When I try to run the cpu with ram in a2 and b2, all the fans and led light up, but the monitor cannot detect my pc. When i run it with b2 only, or b2 and b1, it works. When i try b1 and a1, it doesn't work. with b2 and b1, it displays I have 16 gigabytes of ram.
Is there a fix for this besides from returning the motherboard?
if i keep it at b1 and b2, is there any difference if i did a2 and b2 (if it worked) instead?
