i have this Pc build
i3-7100
msi z170 BR/Plus
i was normally using my two ram sticks, but my Pc suddenly stopped. i decided to clean it up with a proper spray for computer
after that, the Pc wasnt posting, then i checked everything and fouded that the dimm a1 and 2 was faulty, so I placed my two sticks on DIMM B1 and 2
The mobo's post screen, where you get the "press f1 to enter bios" was showing 16Gb 2133Mhz total ram, the bios setup screen as well, but when booted up, the Win10 was showing only 1 stick of 8 Gb
Cpuz showed 2 sticks too with spd
what can i do?
is that a cpu problem?
I cleaned the mobo with isopropilic alcohol, and the cpu and ram sticks too
help pls
edit1: this night, the pc just turned off, almost like a power loss. it keeps doing it, works for a couple ours, then just die. if i want it to turn on again, i have to wait some days or change the ram slot to see what slot will work. i think my cpu are just diyng
