Hello,
My motherboard, ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131644 has a solid DRAM red LED on. Upon inspection, the RAM, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 are not seated properly. The white pins on the side also won't lock it in. The gold contacts also appear to be poking out. My question is, would there be a compatibility issue between the RAM and the Motherboard? The pins do match up, I just can't simply push it down far enough for it to lock in, what's going on?
