Hello,

 

So, since tuesday everytime I boot my pc,everything starts working, but even before the boot screen shows up it reboots, and keeps doing this like a loop.

 

I removed all my ram, i inserted only on module, I did this with every single one and they work fine, computer boots normally.

 

So i tried the second memory slot and also works fine, but if I use the third or fourth memory slot it starts rebooting again.

 

I tried cleaning the memory slots in case there was some speck of dust, but it keeps rebooting.

 

Any suggestion  of what to do?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S: sorry if it's confusing, english is not my first language

Have you cleared the CMOS/BIOS?

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

I tried, my motherboard has a clear cmos on the back, but I don't know if it was done properly

 

I've edited my first post with my setup.

Do you know If you need to take the CMOS battery out while pressing button? I would try. 

Through I have just read through your original post again, I have had something similar with my mobo, If its the same thing that happened to me, you have a broken mobo. I could never find out why.

It's not the first time this has happened, but then i reseated the ram and it worked just fine, unfortunely this time isn't working.

 

I can't start to imagine how hard it will be to find a 1155 motherboard......
