Your RAM isn't functioning properly on the second channel of your motherboard.
Your RAM isn't functioning properly on the second channel of your motherboard.
I own an HP Prodesk 600 g1. At first purchase, with 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, issues started when I tried to boot the computer normally. I unplugged it and spent about two hours troubleshooting. I disassembled the machine, replacing every part I thought might be faulty—even though I was familiar with its internals. After some time, it finally powered on but didn’t boot. I heard a series of five beeps and went to HP’s support site for guidance. When I saw it might be the RAM, I tried swapping in another stick with matching specs. It worked this time, but I was still confused. Later, I discovered the second RAM channel wasn’t functioning properly, even with the correct module. Now I’m seeking advice on what steps to take next, especially since I don’t have funds for a new motherboard. -Hydraruns 9:58am
I hadn't considered that, so I'll give it a shot. I replaced the CPU during my initial troubleshooting when it wouldn't power on, which might mean a faulty contact on the CPU or motherboard. Since I discovered a bent pin in the motherboard, fixing it could be difficult given my limited time now.
Yea, I just did that and it worked i also made sure to apply more pressure bc last time I put on the heat sink i felt thta I was a bit loose but did not think about it that much, thx. -Hydraruns 12:36pm
