Problem With RAM slot

[Millertyme4893]

If I could get some advice would be greatly appreciated. Long story short my PC was rebooting while gaming anytime I had a ram stick in my 2nd slot. At first I thought bad ram so I bought new ram sticks then it would crash games a lot. PC would work just fine with 1 stick in 4th slot. Sent ASUS motherboard after talking to rep said warranty would cover. Now they have denied warranty coverage. So I went out and bought a MSI tomahawk motherboard. Now I can’t get PC to boot with Red CPU light on. I have tried calling MSI and going through trouble shooting. Updated bios. Checked connections. Re seated CPU checked CPU pins. They are suggesting I take motherboard back. Could this truly be my issue here or is there something else going on I am at a loss

It sounds like the memory controller on your CPU has gone bad, if it isn't working with two different motherboards. You may want to RMA the CPU if it's still in warranty. Otherwise, you'd need to get a new CPU to test that hypothesis.
