Computer won't turn on if I don't take out RAM and put it back in.

Hi!

I built this computer few weeks ago, and 2 days ago faced issue with ram - turned off pc in evening and next morning it did not turn on. Brought it back to life only after re-inserting one of RAMs. Slots are clean, and BIOS updated to latest version.

Motherboard Asus PRIME B250-PRO

RAM 2x4GB Kingston 8GB PC17000 DDR4 HyperX Fury KIT OF 2 HX421C14FBK2/​8

CPU i5-7400

Also RAM works only in B1 and B2 slots, otherwise, ifI insert it in A1 and A2, monitor doesnt work.

Please help, I have no idea what to do. RAM must be good.


!!!UPDATE!!! I dont think it's RAM's fault. My pc doesnt turn on whith no RAM inserted too. I mean - I took out bouth memory sticks, turned it on, then turned off and the same happened - it didn't turn on and made some fast, silent clicking sound, as if something would have been stuck.

Sounds like a Short on the NB or the A1, A2 slot. Try RMCing the Mobo.

First of all, thanks for the answer!

I am new to computers - can you please tell me what is RMCing the motherboard and how to do it?

So Sorry my bad!.
Try replacing the motherboard if its in warranty, if it isnt then try to remove and reinstall CMOS battery. the small silver button cell.

Yes, I reinstalled CMOS, didn't work too. Will notify when they will finish diagnostic and maybe replaced mobo or RAM.
