Apologies if this is something obvious, it's my first time messing around inside my PC and I'm basically going off what I've found through the threads here.
So I was having CPU temperature problems, I used OC Genie to downclock my system, still heat problems. Discovered the heat sink was seated incorrectly, fixed that, temp problems went away. I went into the bios, turned OC Genie back on. Now the PC wouldn't post. Removed cmos battery, no change. Removed cmos battery for longer and removed 3 sticks of RAM per a friends suggestion, success! I booted using default settings, then tried cycling my RAM sticks one at a time, two of them would not boot by themselves. Tried booting with the two working sticks together, no go. Do I just need new RAM or is there a bios setting to add more?
