motherboard ram issue!!!

[Javier Ewe]

this is driving me nuts

so i got this mobo a gigabyte z77x-d3h

i could not boot it (cpu fan spins then stops spins then stops non stop)

realized it was ram issue after changing psu, cpu, gfx card etc.

30 mins of ram swapping later, system booted up to bios with corsair vengeance pro ddr3-1866 ram in slots 2 and 3 (total 8gb)

also found out despite putting ram in slot 4, bios would not detect the slot 4 ram

i though huh maybe slot one isn't working

i saw some dirt in ram slot 1 and cleaned it

i tried ram in slot 1,2,3 (same corsair vg pro 1866)

system booted up and showed 12gb ram installed

i was happy

i decided to mount my cooler properly to my mobo (it was previously just sitting on the cpu as i did cpu change etc.)

i mounted my cpu cooler and decided to switch the ram to different slots for aesthetic purposes

now system cant post again!!

tried ram in 1 slot, it doesn't post as well (tried with all types of ram kingston,hynix,micron,hp,corsair,team)

i'm very exhausted and frustrated 

any help is appreciated

So put it back the way it was when it worked and then run a mem check. If the system quickly just dies then you've got an issue with the RAM. Or run it with 12GB as that's more than enough for most things.

Any way you can post picture of the Motherboard? Via Imgur or prtscrn 

 

Maybe email Pic to yourself on Phone.

Test each stick of ram, one at a time, in each slot. This will tell you which slot/ram stick is bad.

Use MemTest x86

that original config doesn't work anymore. just tried. also i tried over 8 sticks of ram so that can't be the issue

Did you use MemTest x86 to test each stick for a minimum of 24 hours??

Hmm have a read here: https://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=11787.0

 

Flash your BIOS with the latest if you haven't already and look into what that guy is saying re specific settings to make it stable. Sounds like a MB issue.
