Error 15 on Gigabyte Mobo

[Dangles]

Error 15! So Ive always had 16GB (4x4) of Corasir Vengance Memory but recently upgraded to a Corsair H100i CPU cooler. All of a sudden I get Error 15 when trying to boot. I figured out that removing the seccond channel of memory will allow me to boot and get rid of the error. I know 8GB of memory is plenty but I want my machine to run on 16GB like it has in the past. Any troubleshooting ideas? Could it be that i damaged it when putting it back into the the motherboard? I'm pretty sure its not that because I was quite careful when reinstalling it. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks, Alex

Perhaps as when you were handling it to take it in or out you broke it through static discharge. If possible, test it in another PC, then if it's still under warranty, RMA it. It's either an issue with the socket on the board or the module.
