I shared a post on the Power supply forum regarding my PSU swap issues. The problem was with my RAM modules—working fine with one stick but failing when another was added. Since they were purchased as a kit, it shouldn't have caused trouble, yet it did. What should I do now?

1. Replace the CPU.
2. Test various socket connections: 1 and 3.
3. Install in Windows using a single-channel setup and then power down the PC.
4. Insert the second unit.

Did you try the No.3 yet? No luck. The No.2 doesn’t seem feasible since your motherboard is a low-end H110, and you’re out of thermal paste (order arriving soon).

By replacing the CPU, I refer to removing the cooler and reinserting the chip onto the motherboard. If the CPU doesn’t establish complete contact with the pins, dual channel may be disabled. You also require adequate force for dual channel functionality. Occasionally, after prolonged operation above 85°C, the CPU PCB can warp slightly, making full contact difficult unless sufficient pressure is applied.

Sure, I’ll make sure to rephrase it for you.
