RAM Issue

I have been Running the same Machine for quiet some time now with a GPU change late last year. Today I came Home and my System wouldn't post. I threw out my RAM from DIMM 2 and it works again. I thought that my RAM couldn't just have died with no signs of Issues before so I threw it on ALL other three DIMM Slots and on DIMM 1 (Where my other 4GB are on) It worked. Now my Other RAM that I have in my System works on all 4 DIMMs though... Now Im a bit confused as to why that could be. Anyone got an Idea? (Please excuse my bad english had a rough day at work).

The RAM is some no Brand RAM that came with my old prebuild.

Thanks in advance!

But why would It work in slot1 but not in 2-4?

Maybe voltage problems... try to search online coz I'm not an expert on it

are you using all 4 DIMMs ? if you only have 2 sticks of ram they need to go in certain slots first. Should be indicated on the DIMM slots, usually u have to populate 2 and 4 before 1 and 3

Yeah I tried that. It didn't work. I tried 1+2 (Like I had it before) 3+4, 1+3 and 2+4. But I only got the Ram sticks working in slot one and when I introduced the second RAM stick into the system It wouldn't post.
