What can I do now? That’s my problem. Can you suggest anything?Also, can a PSU cable be at fault in any way? Could, for example, 1 pin out of 24 that was giving power to A1 and A2 slot, get broken and result in this problem? Or is my understanding of how that cable works wrong ?

What do you mean by “funk”?. What is your suggestion for me to do?

Hello, guys! My build: MoBo: Asus ROG Maximus Hero VIII CPU: i7 6700k RAM: 2 sets of "Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2A2133C13(2x8 GB in each set)" (so 4x 8GB ram sticks, 32 GB total) GPU: Gigabyte AORUS Xtreme 1080 Ti CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i Extreme 280" PSU: Corsair HX850i platinum Side-note: Out of the 4 RAM sticks I have, one was broken long ago and I never RMAd it, so my PC was running with 3 RAMs x8 GB (24 GB of ram) for 3 years, without any problems at all. Had those sticks placed in DIMM A2 + B2(as recommended for 2 sticks) + A1. I will say it again, I HAD NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS setup for more than 2-3 years. 24gb of ram STRAIGHT TO MY PROBLEM NOW: I decided to clean up my PC and reapply thermal pastes recently. Cleaned the PC, reapplied paste, put everything back and turned it on. Everything was fine for 10-15 minutes, then I got "Blue Screen of Death". Restarted the PC and BSOD happened again after 5 minutes. It then happened another 2-3 times until I decided to check my RAMs. Downloaded Memtest86, turned it on and selected a minimum of 8 passes. During the first pass, I got 800+ CPU errors. So I thought that I, somehow, fucked something(maybe the socket pins, or tightening the screws too much) up when placing the CPU back. I removed everything and reassembled again. Put only 1 RAM this time in slot B1, PC started on first try and seemed to work fine. Turned off, checked the other 2 rams in the same slot, worked like charm, so rams had no problems. Then I started moving 1 RAM to different slots. B1 and B2 worked splendidly, while A1 and A2 wouldn't POST at all, the screen was remaining black forever. When the RAM was in A1 DIMM, I would get the 49 debug code right after starting the PC, then after some debug code cycling, it would stop at 01 code, then switch to 03 right after that and in the end a cycle of 01/03 debug codes would start. When the RAM was in A2 DIMM, I would get the CC debug code right after starting the PC, then after some debug code cycling, it would stop at 55 code. After that, I tried placing 2 RAMs together. ALL 3 RAMS were working when placed in different combinations in slot B1 and B2 simultaneously. When trying B1 + A1/A2 or B2 + A1/A2, it wouldn't post again. So, in the end, I decided to remove the CPU again and check if there were any bent pins in the CPU socket, cleaned everything AGAIN, put back the CPU cooler, placed it right in the center, hand-tightened 2 diagonally-placed screws first, so that the pressure was even on both sides. I blew the dust out of everything possible, with compressed air, even from the back side of the MoBo! Right now my PC is running Memtest86 for 8 passes, with ram placed in B1 slot. It's already the 4th pass and 0 errors. Still, I can't place any RAM in A1 and A2 slots to get back to my 24gb setup. SUMMARY of ALL the things I have tried: -Clearing Cmos. -Flashing BIOS again. -Under-tightening CPU cooler screws to the point that I almost could move it freely. -Checking all of 3 RAM sticks individually and in groups, in every slot, with every combination. -Removing all the peripherals(GPU, keyboard, mouse, etc..) except for RAMs -Changing all the cables. -Changing some of my BIOS settings(like turning on XMP, etc...) -Running 1 ram with different BIOS settings(to check if I fucked the settings up or not) -Running 3 rams with the default BIOS settings, etc... Right now I don't even know what to think of, I have tried every possible solution on the net and nothing seems to work, whenever A1 and A2 slots are in play, system doesn't POST, hanging at black screen. The system just doesn't work like it did for 2-3 years. Nothing seems to malfunction aside from these slots. If you think that my mobo is at fault now... How could it malfunction out of blue? There were no power outages in my home or anything alike. I'm out of ideas right now, please help me, someone! Sorry for this, somewhat messy, text and bad English, it's my 4th language
