Hey, i followed usual protocol when installing ram and installed on 2nd and 4th slot from the cpu then yesterday it suddenly wont output to my monitor but my pc turns on and everything is in order. I tried to move the RAM to the 1st and 3rd slot and it now outputs to my monitor again. Is my motherboard’s ram slot faulty and is there any way to fix this? 
 

8700k (using igpu) 

Rog strix z370 e gaming 

gskill trident z 16Gb 3200

seasonic focus plus gold 850W


Also to add to that after moving my ram to 1st and 3rd slot everything is in order however sometimes while using the PC my monitor will suddenly get NO SIGNAL for about 1 sec and then it will be back to normal for about 5-10 cycles. After that specific cycle there will be some no signal again then return to normal. I thought it was a faulty HDMI cable and i switched a new one and it still happens. Is this related to my RAM? Or is my motherboard dying? 
 

i havent caught it in video as it happens all of a sudden and resolves itself quickly

Ddu the igpu drivers

Use memtest86 and OCCT just to make sure that it isn't a ram problem 

Temps ?

OCCT for ram as well 

I like to recommend both of them just to be extra sure.

Try maybe cleaning the dimms 

Updating the bios.
