Hi Folks. Been building PCs for years did over 40 by now but this has me stumped.
I need a fault finding check confirmed please.
Now the motherbaord that's in the title did not post with 4 ram sticks HyperX Predator 16GB kit.
So I tried them one at a time in slot 3.
3 failed and one allowed a post, I then tried them in slot 4. The same thing the working stick posted same 3 as before failed.
Tried two sticks in various slots. No post.
So logically I'm right in thinking I have 3 dead ram sticks?
Before anyone asks about slots 1 and 2 putting sticks in and out of slots 1 and 2 is a problem as it's got a Dark Rock cooler on there. Which makes unneeded in and outs a problem.
if only one stick, the same stick, << thats the important bit, works alone in slot 4 or 3 and 3 of the sticks dont work alone or in sets. Logically it's the ram right?
No way can I go and buy another 200 quids worth of ram for a tester or RMA what could be a good mobo and suffer a restock fee. Not to mention taking off that monster cooler that took me over 90 minutes to get on there.
So thoughts please guys n gals.
