Well yesterday I got my new cpu cooler (NH15S) After installing it I went on my pc did some tests on my cpu the temp is very good.
So i went on Fortnite and experienced freezes and fps drops after 10 seconds I got a blue screen.
So after a restart I turned Speccy on and got a bluescreen again. After sometime i found out that 1 ram slot isn't working anymore I got 2 ram slots.
And today I removed everything cleaned everything and put it back in, I made the cooler a bit looser and also the motherboard (read something about that) but the problem is still not solved, someone told me that my motherboard got old,
but is that a coincidence that the day i change the cooler that the ramslot doesn't work anymore? hmmm.

Specs:

CPU: AMD Black Edition - AMD Athlon II X4 860K
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1050TI-4G-GAMING
RAM: HyperX Fury ddr3L
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM010
PS: Be quiet! System Power 8 600W

could it be that the fan header you're using somehow cannot power the new cpu cooler and is taking power used for a ram slot? Also i haven't heard of cpu coolers being too tight if anything i would think it would be too loose. but hell what do i know? just some suggestions.
