windows xp pc first ram slot not working

Dibya

Hi Everyone, I have a trouble .

Two of my Kingston hyperx works perfectly on 2nd ram slot . But if I put any working ram on first ram slot, it gives beep and doesn't boot.

Motherboard : Gigabyte h61m-ww

I checked processor LGA pins

I checked dim slot pins .

All looks fine to me .

What can be wrong?

I have no money to buy new motherboards. Moreover lga1155 boards are pain in ass to find.

First off, why are you running XP on a h61 board?

 

try a CMOS reset, pull power and pull the CMOS battery for 30+ seconds

Holy gracious man.  Thanks a lot . I wanna bow down to you give respect. CMOS reset did the trick.

By the way I dual boot with windows 8.1.

Ivy bridge and sandy bridge are last chips to support XP!
