Hi folks.
I'm building a new budget build pc and had a problem the first time I started it up. It started fine but, I noticed a slight burning smell and shut it off. I started to re-seat the ram and noticed that the plastic sticker on both sticks was starting to melt. I checked to make sure a standoff wasn't out of place and shorting the mobo, all ok there. A friend suggested that it may be bad ram. I pulled a stick of the same type of ram from an extra workstation at the office and the sticker on that stick started to melt when I started it up. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
