CPU: i5-4690k
GPU: GTX 1070
Ram: G.Skills Ripjaws X DDR3a1600 CL10-10-10-30 PC3-12800 8Gx2 Intel XMP Ready
Cooler: Evo 212
PSU: Corsair CX750M
MOBO: MSI Krait Editon SLI (White and Black)

Want this to be simple.

Bought parts last year December and made PC. No issues until June where GPU got fried. It was a GTX 1070 from EVGA. RMA was opened and I got a new one and it works fine. Today, I was annoyed by the fact my cooler was not installed properly after trying to remove it a month ago. So I reinstalled the cooler properly using videos and manuals and was happy. Boot up my computer and infinite boot loop. I knew instantly it was the ram because this has happened before. How was it fixed before? Well I just switched the locations of the ram sticks and it worked in the first two slots. Now I tried every combination possible with two sticks, plus I tried using one stick in all slots and still invite boot loop. I also tried the other stick. Now I thought it was the GPU since my last GPU got fried. So I removed it and than tried rebooting the PC with the ram sticks, still infinite boot loop. Now I know 100% it's the ram sticks. I also tried removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in, not work either. So what should I do? Buy new ram sticks? Help

Going to clean thermal compound off cpu as it is old. Maybe that is somehow causing problems. Otherwise based off the thread you linked me, PSU is fine and handy every since purchase, CURRENT GPU is fine and handy. By the way, I checked my faulty GPU a month ago in my friends computer, and his PC didn't turn on, meaning the new GPU I have now can't be the problem. Mobo screws and screwed in properly, not too tight not too lose. And all of the cables and plugged in where it is supposed to. I will report back.
