RAM Problems

[Swiftblade131]

I had an MSI Motherboard, with an I7-6700k and 4x of 4 GB DDR4 RAM, I recently upgraded some things and am no longer using these 3 components. However, I recently gave them to a friend of mine, to help bump up his PC. We got rid of basically everything except for his HDD, GPU, and PSU.

 

Specs:

GTX 960

I7-6700k

2TB HDD

650 WATT PSU

16 GB of RAM (4 sticks of 4)

MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Motherboard

And we changed the case

 

When he got home, the computer wouldn't launch. After testing things out and checking over all the connections, it came down to the RAM, it would not work with all 4 sticks in, but it would only work with one in. And for whatever reason, the Ethernet connection is not working. I asked him if he could test each RAM stick one at a time, and see if one may have gotten damaged during the build and transfer of parts. As for the Ethernet connection, I am not sure. All components worked just fine for me as long as I had them. 

 

If anyone has got some ideas, I would really appreciate the help! 

 

Problem solved, one stick was damaged out of the 3!
