Several takes... various perspectives... attempt without using flash.
I can guarantee none of the pins are bent. I’ve likely dismantled my rig ten times to verify everything thoroughly. Claiming I bent some pins could have raised worries about the problem, but only three pins were slightly misaligned and I restored them correctly. My computer starts up without issues in slots 3 and 4, and I even tested Prime95 for several hours without any stability problems.
I'm still experiencing the same issue. The closest I've come is that the RAM in the damaged slots would flash for a brief moment before the computer would shut down instantly. This happened three more times before remaining permanently lit without any response. The fans were also running very loudly. Once I removed the faulty stickers and reinserted them into the working slots, another post mentioned the system failed to boot because of instability.
I placed a new motherboard order, but delivery will take more than a week. I’m trying to figure out if the CPU is the issue and am confident the RAM is working properly. Before replacing the cooler, the system performed well with 2 and 4 channels in dual channel mode, so I’m puzzled about this delay now.
