Posting Issue

I just changed my ram on my Gigabyte H170 ITX board, and now I'm having posting issues. The PC turns on, fans spins, then after 10 seconds, it just restarts constantly. I don't know if this is normal, or if I hit something by accident when trying to squeeze my hands in this small build, but I need help!

Motherboards are quite resilient to such stuff.

 

Try stick by stick, isolate any issues by that. If your still having issues run a mem test. But I have a system which is stable on ram test (run for +8 hours) but is not stable but on my old ram is fine. I do not over clock ram btw.

PS. CHeck your new ram settings, may require you to set it up in bios to be stable.

I inserted my old RAM, and it still is doing the same thing. Should I try resetting my bios?

You can but check that your ram doesn't require specific voltages. I have ordered ram from overclockers (UK) 3 times and all 3 have failed. Ram can be very dodgy. But make sure you set it up correctly, some require different voltages in bios.
