PC experiencing boot loop after ram removed and reslotted.

[Chris_258]

I got some new ram for my PC, but after exchanging it and my old set, the computer won't boot on startup. Instead it will turn on for roughly 10 seconds, turn off and then restart again, rinse/repeat.

I tried putting my old ram back in the same slots but the issue persists.

I'm not worried about the new ram but definitely want the old ones to work at least.

It's an MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard and two 4gb Corsair Vengeance 1.50V DDR3 sticks.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Try reinserting and make sure they are fully seated, the clips should pop up and lock themselves in, they had some tight DRAM sockets in some of their P67 and Z77 mobos, it can take a little extra force 😉
