![]() ![]() I decided to just put the stock heatsink on the cpu (i5 4690k) and lo and behold the computer will now start with RAM in slots 1 or 2. (all this time the computer will still boot with RAM in slots 3 or 4). ![]() I probably took it off and put it on again 4 or 5 times and then eventually no matter how loose I screwed it down the computer wouldn't boot. After I figured this out I started to fiddle with how much pressure I was applying with the Evo. UPDATE: When I used the Hyper 212 Evo I had to have it very loose on top of the cpu in order to boot with ram in slots 1 or 2. but if it really is a problem then I definitely will. The reason I ask these questions is that I'd rather not have to send the motherboard back. My question is if it is ok to just put the ram in slots 3 and 4 (as opposed to 1 and 3 or 2 and 4)? Also, if this is an indication of a bad motherboard, will this problem be self contained or start affecting things other things later on? If I put ram in slots 3 and 4 then my computer will start up just fine. However nothing I've tried so far has helped. From what research I've done it seems like other people have had similar problems. I am building my first computer and my problem is that if I put a stick of ram in slot 1 or 2 then the computer will not boot, rather cycle on and off. ![]()
