Hey! First of all, sorry for my grammar, I'm not a native English speaker 馃槥

I want to revive a dead聽computer that died because a PSU failure.

I bought new PSU, RAM and SSD.

Then I found a boot loop problem (I'd say the same that Im having right now) and i bought a new motherboard because i thought it could be the problem. I bought the motherboard secondhand and It worked!!!

I installed everything and it worked the first day! I managed to install Windows 10 and all the stuff and聽I kept the computer for 2 months, then I went to start it and ran into the same problem than before.

Things that I tried:

  • Replacing CPU and nothing changed
  • Replacing PSU and nothing changed
  • Disconnect all peripheral and SATA and nothing changed
  • Update BIOS and nothing change
  • Hard reset BIOS to default values and nothing changes (CMOS reset)

Possible solution:

The RAM is brand new but is this amazon model:聽TECMIYO 8GB Kit (2x4GB) PC3 12800 DDR3 1600 CL11 1.5V 240Pin Non-ECC Unbuffered UDIMM Desktop Memory Ram Module

I managed to boot correctly the computer by only booting with 1 RAM stick and DIMM2. If i insert both RAM stick it doesn't boot. Even If I insert 1 stick in DIMM1 It doesn't boot.

It's very weird because It worked the first day with both sticks!! And I haven't use the PC since then.
I also check if the DIMM1 slot has any pin burnt but I can't see anything

I attach a video of the boot loop and my computer components:

Motherboard:聽MSI H61-P32/W8
No GPU.
CPU: Intel i5-3450
PSU: Mars Gaming MPII550
RAM: TECMIYO 8GB Kit (2x4GB) PC3 12800 DDR3 1600 CL11 1.5V 240Pin Non-ECC Unbuffered UDIMM Desktop Memory Ram Module
