Hi guys,
Below are the specs.
Ryzen 5 3600x/MSI B450 Tomoawk Max/Gigabyte Windforce OC 1660ti/Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 3000 Mhz/CM MWE 550W/WD SN550 1 TB/Acer VG240YP
I was using the PC just as usual, suddenly it turned off and wouldn't turn on, after a few attempts, it turned back on, when I got to the desktop , it turned off again.
I initially, suspected the SMPS or Motherboard, then I tried removing the ram sticks and found it turned on with the 2nd stick in 4th slot.
Then, I tried the stick from 2nd slot on 4th, it wouldn't turn on again. I then tried the 2nd sick in 2nd slot, it worked. But after swapping them multiple times here's the situation. The ram stick which initially populated the 2nd slot works in slots 1,2 and 3, but not the 4th slot and the ram stick that populated the 4th slot is now not working on any slot. Whichever slot I put the second stick in the motherboard LED gets stuck in DRAM.
Here's my question: Is the 2nd ram stick alone dead or there is an issue with the slots on the board as well because I am not sure if a single ram stick just on 4th slot should work.
