Just finished building my PC, installed the cooler, slotted in my RAM, connected everything, and booted. Got a successful post, and began installing Windows. After it installed, I opened up System, and noticed that I only had 8GB of RAM displayed, when I had 2 8GB sticks. I shutdown Windows to see if both sticks were showing in the BIOS, but once the computer had powered off, I could not get it to post again. I've tried running with just 1 stick (using each stick on its own), tried both sticks, tried every slot on the board, yet I still get a static red DRAM LED (usually eluding to faulty RAM sticks). I have also cleared the CMOS, to no avail. Considering I managed to boot the PC once, is it likely that the CPU isn't seated right? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem?
