I built this computer roughly 2 years ago, and when I installed it I put both ram sticks in slots 3&4 and never questioned anything. recently I bought 2 additional sticks to bump my ram to 32gb and they just do not get recognized by my computer.
For some reason both of my A slots have issues with snapping into place, they do snap into place, but I need to force the snap end with my fingers while trying to lock them in. regardless though, any ram in those two slots do not work. I tried both slots with WORKING ram so it's not the ram itself.
The problem is that my motherboard is now 2 years old and I had not known that this was an issue since I never bothered to check these slots since I only had two sticks to begin with.
Since I probably can't ask for a replacment I am wondering if there is anyway to fix this issue on my end?
