i have an i5 6500 as my current cpu. i bought another cpu wich is the same exact model as my current cpu i5 6500. everything was fine with my rig but when i replaced the cpu to try out the one that i bought . (i didnt mess with any other components), just the cpu and now my system wont boot anymore.the ram led is lit. my ram was placed in slot 2 and 4. then i tried to boot with only one ram in slot 2 it works then i swapped the ram with the other to check if the other ram is faulty but its not both rams are ok then i tried putting ram in slot one and slot two, it works. but when i try to dual channel again(tried slot 1 and 3, 2 and 4 again) it wont work.
why is this happening? i refuse to believe that my mobo is faulty because it is only 3 months old and it works fine with the other cpu.
how can i do dual channel again? or is it fine to just do 2x8gb single channel meaning the rams are in slots 1 and 2? will there be any difference?
mobo is a asus z170-a and ram is a team dark 2x8 kit
