You’ve got a mix of components that don’t quite fit together. The MSDI Z77A-G45 is an older laptop motherboard, so it’s unlikely to support modern RAM configurations. The Core i7 2600K is a desktop processor, not compatible with a laptop’s RAM slots. Also, the issue you’re describing—repeated on/off cycles and no video output—suggests a power or motherboard problem. Try checking the RAM slots directly: ensure they’re correctly seated in slot 2, and verify the motherboard supports the RAM type you have. If it still doesn’t work, contact Amazon support or the manufacturer for guidance.
No, there are no beep codes for having more than one stick of RAM.
No zip codes appear unless there’s an issue with the speaker. I double-checked the bent pins and found that dimm 1 and 2 function, located near the motherboard, while 3 and 4 don’t. The graphics card isn’t being detected either.
I believe that’s the plan unless there’s a hardware problem, which I’m skeptical about. Fortunately, I should be able to install the new chip on my old motherboard—though it wasn’t exactly what I hoped for, but it works now.
You insert RAM into each slot one by one, testing them individually. For slot three, you use a RAM stick that fits that specific slot.
