Ram Crash

[MirioCheerio]

My CPU socket had a couple of bent pins causing me to crash when two DRAM Modules were installed, while trying to fix it, one of the loose pins fell off. And I need a way to use both of my ram sticks without swapping out the motherboard.

Best you can do is try putting the stick in different available slots. If the system still crashes, you're SOL.

Yeah, unless you know anyone who knows how to repair a cpu socket, you're kind of out of luck. If you still have a warranty on the board, then call up the manufacturer and see if they'll send you a new one. If not, then I would personally sell the board on eBay for parts and buy a new board.

I called them and talked to them, but they said that I would have to pay $100 for them to fix it. Can you tell me if I could get a upgrade in my desktop if I sell the old parts and get something new, for total under 100 + the amount of price I get by selling it.
