My computer is 6 months old and was working perfectly until now.
It simply won't even POST unless I change ram config every restart.
My MOBO is GA-H81M-HD3, so I have 2 ram slots. Here's an example of what I have to do in order to successfully POST and BOOT into Win10. 1. When I started my 2 slots were filled and it didn't work.
2. I unplugged PSU and left only RAM in slot 1.
3. I booted into BIOS, checked all settings and restarted PC by "Exit without Saving"
4. Then it failed to POST again and I plugged the exact same RAM stick that I took out to RAM slot 2 (now 2 of them are in).
5. I booted into BIOS again because I forgot to check one thing. And restarted it again. 6. It failed to POST again and I left only one RAM stick in slot 2. 7. I booted into Windows and everything is fine as I am writing this post. Any ideas what is causing this issue? I don't want to leave my PC 24h on, or fck with ram every time I have to turn on my PC.
