RAM Problems

Go to solution Solved by Guest,

Would reseating the CPU help?

Maybe. Check if all pins on mobo/cpu are ok

I was using my computer the other day and it bluescreened and this was what it said.

It wouldn't start up, so I reseated the RAM, and it went back to normal.

 

Today, again using the computer, then it stopped the screens froze and a loud buzzing noise was emitted from the speakers.

I turned down the sound and left it for two minutes to see if it would sort itself out, it didn't. Cut the power and rebooted, nothing, just like before.

So I tried reseating the RAM, nothing, for some reason only the right RAM socket works, but both sticks of RAM work in it.

 

Any ideas how to get it working, otherwise i only have 4GB of RAM :-(

Reseated CPU, found the problem a few of the pins were bent and had a very small amount of thermal compound on them.

Cleaned it all up sorted the pins and now I have all of the RAM backs

 

Thanks for everyone's help  :)

Thermal compound on pins? So heat transfers from cpu to mobo more efficiently :D How it got there :D

When I put on my new cooler, I tried to clean the old paste off and ended up putting some on the side of the CPU, so I took out the CPU and it must have fallen then and I just didn't notice it
