Why would stationary PC need ram reseated?

[atavax]

I left my PC on overnight. The following morning it wouldn't awaken from sleep. I turned it off then on again. No post. Double checked connections; no post. Disconnected everything but monitor; no post. Removed 1 ram stick; post. Put ram stick back in the same slot; post.

PC Gremlins ( it can sometimes just be the mild oxidation/dust or 100 other reasons, no obvious answer)

Stationary within your room does not mean no physical interactions whatsoever. The hurricane of fans needed to cool your high-end hardware will cause vibration, just as one example.

Heat cycles, vibration, airflow. All these move parts around. 
Also, T I M E. Over time the components degrade and tolerances tighten.

tldr: physics! 

 

for starters,  stationary, eh?

 

EARTH ROTATION SPEED: 1670 kilometres per hour

 

 

*literally* nothing on this planet is "stationary".

The root cause is probably not ram shaking or moving in its place. May be bad ram, bad PSU etc.

im also thinking might just be bad production quality as i move my pc around a lot and never had to reseat my ram
