bad ram slot on motherboard ?

[tonnycassidy25]

so i was playing a game and suddenly got a memory_management bsod,so i try taking another pair of ram stick from my main pc (it runs 24/7 no problem,never get a bsod, so i dont think the ram stick is the problem)
then i install it on my other pc,its still the same when i put the ram on slot 2 and 4 ,and it boots up ok when i put the ram on slot 1 3 ,but windows memory diagnostic tool say that theres a hardware problem detected ,could this be the ram slot problem ? or my ram is bad

additional,the windows is a fresh install,i installed it yesterday
mobo:msi z97 gaming 3
cpu intel xeon e3 1220

Run memtest 86+ to check the memory itself for errors.

i've done it,it shows no errors

Try resetting CMOS and clearing your memory controller.. but one RAM channel not working is usually a bad CPU/MB or RAM.

i reset everything,tried that with my 4790k

try to swap your ram stick to another slot.
if you still get the issue, try to buy new ram then install it. if it boot and run without any BSOD it means your RAM is culprit.

its ok on slot 1 and 3 ,i got bsod when i put it on slot 2 and 4 ,the ram was from my main rig that runs without problem

then i suspect your mobo is failing at you.

did you test it on another PC?

yes im asking about it in here just to make sure before complaining to the distributor

The memory channel is malfunctioning (which is why the two slots of the first channel arent working) and is most likely because of damaged pins in the CPU socket not allowing the computer CPU to communicate with the RAM controller. If a CMOS reset doesnt fix it then it is almost certainly a damaged socket or if you are lucky, misconfigured BIOS settings. You are very, very unlikely to get any kind of refund or support for this problem and would be better off seeing if you can repair the damage that you have probably caused yourself. User damage/misconfiguration is not covered by any warranty.

just return it to the distributor, if you're sure enough if the motherboard is broken.

or try this before returning your mobo:
pull your CMOS battery for 5 second, then reinsert your battery. see if this thing solves your problem.
