Ram doesn't understand
You're facing an issue where your second RAM stick isn't being recognized by the BIOS, even though you've confirmed it's in the correct slot. This could be due to a faulty connection, incorrect placement, or a problem with the motherboard itself. Since you're concerned about not having to replace the board, double-check the physical connections and ensure the RAM is seated properly. If the problem persists, consider testing with a different RAM stick or consulting a professional for further diagnosis.
Did you purchase them together initially, or did you buy them separately afterward? Have you tested each stick individually to verify its functionality?
Check if the stick is faulty or the ram slot is the issue. Test the second stick alone in its current position (where the working stick is now). If successful, add that working stick to slot a2. With some luck, the reseat attempts should resolve it; otherwise, you'll identify the defective component.
I purchased them together and checked both, but the first one works in the first slot while the second one prevents the PC from starting and causes the DRAM light to appear. I’m really confused.
Remove the stick carefully, then (be mindful not to knock any parts off the board!) clean the slots. It seems there might be some dust or debris creating poor contact on one connection. If the slot is damaged, simply replace the board.
