The other day I shut down my pc. When I went to turn on again it would not post to the bios screen.
I removed one stick of ram and it started.
Replaced both sticks of ram and it started and worked, however the next morning it would not boot. So once again I removed a stick of ram and it booted. After it starts I can shut down and put both sticks in and it restarts but then will not restart the next day.
It makes no sense to me as it does not matter which stick of ram I use. I also ran the windows memory checker and everything was fine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
