So I built a Gaming rig about 2 years ago, link to my parts list below

I was trying to load something up on my computer and I noticed that it was running extrememly slow. So I checked my specs for the computer and it said I was only running 4gb of RAM when I had 8gb inserted. I turned off my computer, safely handled the RAM and tried changing the DIMM slots they were inserted. Now neither of them is working in any DIMM slot in any combination. I had the RAM checked and it ran just fine in another computer. Reset the CMOS, have tried everything but it still isnt working.....
 
Solution
Make sure your RAM is actually fully installed and locked into place. If it's working on another computer it either means you're installing them improperly or the slots are probably dead. Test one stick at a time as well.
