Consider placing your graphics card in a different PCIe slot.

The RAM is fully seated, though it might appear positioned loosely at times.

You might want to reposition it once more. I faced the same problem with my ASUS Z77 motherboard...I had to reinsert the RAM several times since it seemed very sensitive to placement (even a slight misalignment would cause issues). Also, try activating the DRAM button (your board should have one). If that doesn’t help, consider clearing the CMOS.

Replacing the RAM doesn't solve the issue. I'm unsure if this matters, but when I power on my PC, the light switches from CPU to RAM and stays there. I can't locate the DRAM setting in the manual, and clearing CMOS hasn't helped.
