Question Motherboard question

[zPrimZy]

So after 2 months of programs closing by themselves and random ass blue screens all the time I decided to just reinstall windows. During installation it blue screened, after that on start up no boot just kept beeping. I looked at the manual an it said for those 3 beeps it was a "Memory error". I took out all my ram out an tested them in every slot,They all worked in the last two DIMM SLOTS

Full hardware specs of your pc?

Non-working dimm slots usually signal about bent/broken pins in cpu socket.

My cpu was in there for a good year, I never took out my CPU an didn't start getting problems till about 2 months ago. I already checked if that was an issue tho an it looks just fine. What else could it be?

If you're sure, there are no bent/broken pins, then it's issue with cpu or motherboard.
Have you done any OC with this hardware?

I found my fix here

I had my CPU COOLER on way to tight, I layed my PC over an just let my hyper 212 evo sit on top of the CPU then tried the ram and now everything's fixed.

that is a very good find. I hope someone can explain it a bit more to me as I am failing to understand how the overtightened cooler throws off the memory controller? It is because the cpu gets too hot or a electrical/mechanical interference?

Cpu gets pushed into socket too hard. Cpu socket pins loose contact.

thank you.

thank you.

Actually it was all working wale my pc was laying down an I barely had the cpu cooler screwed in then when i lifted it side ways then powered it on it kept blue screening, then I layed it back down an its fine. I think the way it sags a little bit is bending the board or something an its causing it to divide or not get data from those two ram slots properly. Cause I barely had the cpu cooler in an same problem when the case is turned over sideways. Its not the pins losing contact.
