[mgaltanas]

Hi there, i just build a new pc and it was running smoothly for about 10 days until today. Dr debug is looping to 00 15 30 4c and the pc it doesnt boot. I removed 1 RAM (B2 position) and it boots!! I ve tried every possible combination and the pc boots only when 1 of my 2 RAMs is installed (doesnt matter which one).
Any ideas ?

Hi, no matter what slot on the motherboard? Or it does work in single RAM configuration, but only in a specific slot?

Pc was booting ONLY when any of my RAM's was on A2 slot. I reinstalled cpu to check for damaged pins or so and i found nothing unusual.
BUT the PC now boots fine !!!!!

If there was a problem with the CPU why everything was running 100% smoothly for 10 days? What has changed now and the pc boots without issues?

Maybe a faulty contact between CPU and pins, that manifested in some conditions only.

Hi mate, thanx for the fast response you are a treasure !!

Is it possible thermal paste to cause the issue? While i was reinstalling the CPU i cleaned it with a dry cloth, just in case, and i think i saw i tiny bit of a thermal paste underneath.

It could be. Let's hope that the issue was solved.
