Issue with RAM slot connection or performance.
Issue with RAM slot connection or performance.
If I could get some advice would be greatly appreciated. Long story short my PC was rebooting while gaming anytime I had a ram stick in my 2nd slot. At first I thought bad ram so I bought new ram sticks then it would crash games a lot. PC would work just fine with 1 stick in 4th slot. Sent ASUS motherboard after talking to rep said warranty would cover. Now they have denied warranty coverage. So I went out and bought a MSI tomahawk motherboard. Now I can’t get PC to boot with Red CPU light on. I have tried calling MSI and going through trouble shooting. Updated bios. Checked connections. Re seated CPU checked CPU pins. They are suggesting I take motherboard back. Could this truly be my issue here or is there something else going on I am at a loss
It seems the memory controller on your CPU is malfunctioning across multiple motherboards. Consider returning the CPU for repair if it's under warranty. If not, you'll need to replace it with a new one to verify the issue.
Thanks for the update. The new motherboard should arrive soon if there are any issues. I'll give it a try.
