Motherboard issue ?

[Skepty]

I am having some problem with my new pc.
Sometimes when I press the powerbutton it doesn't boot at all, not even the bios or just keeps restarting. I ve tried pretty much everything checked my PSU, (evga supernova G2) all the cables, tried BIOS update and cmos reset, XMP profile, but the only thing that worked was reseating the RAM sticks. I have 2x 4gb ddr4 2400 hyperx and 2x 4gb ddr4 2400 team elite ram sticks and no matter which 2 i use it keeps happening. Sometimes its fine for days sometimes it isn't. Reseating the RAM works always. Is it a motherboard issue (Gigabyte z170 K3) or I got unlucky and bought 2 sets of faulty ram sticks ?

So you use a total of 4x4GB sticks, or do you only use 2x4GB sticks and have another pair spare?

Are you making sure your RAM is in all the way, and side clips are in place? Are the contacts on the RAM/socket clean?

Probably slot issue on the board , I doubt 2 sets would be bad.

I had 2x 4gb and I bought another 2x 4gb so 4 sticks 16 gb in total

Yeah its a new MB and I checked , doesnt seem to be broken and its also clean, and yes I checked more than once if they are all the way in

The slots seem to be okay but you re probably right and I will have to get a new MB

Also mixing two ram sets , doesn't always help with compatibility.
