Hey guys! So recently I have been having a few problems with my PC and decided to double check my memory to make sure everything is running as expected. My specs are listed below:
i5 7500
MSI B250M PRO-VD
G. SKill 2400MHz 16gb DDR4 (F4-2400C15D-16GVR)
Thermaltake Toughpower 650W PSU
My motherboard only has two RAM slots one for each stick. The weird thing I noticed is when I tried to boot the sticks individually, initially one stick worked (booted to desktop) I tried the other stick and it would not boot to BIOS (PC only would receive power for a second). When I swapped the sticks again to the first stick the first stick then started doing the same thing (failing to boot). My PC now only boots to desktop if it has both memory modules installed in any order. Is this normal behavouir? Should I clear CMOS everytime I change my RAM configuration?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
