Red Cpu/Dram Light on Motherboard

[bratucristian91]

Hello everyone, my problem is an old one on this forum but still can't get the answer. I've got a motherboard Asus Z170-A with 2x Corsair vengeance led 3000mhz on dual channel, i7 6700k with corsair h75, psu corsair rmx650. All fine until I decide to change the case. On my old case the built was working, after I changed to an Nzxt 340 elite stopped working. When I took out the motherboard from old case also I took out the ram and radiator. All good until I installed on new case when I've started to see red light on motherboard from cpu led and dram led. I changed the dimm slits to find the error and I found out is no working on Dimm 1&2 just in Dimm 3&4 . I've activated Xmp profile and and still not works, I' ve updated bios. What could be? I wanna mention that I changed thermal compound but I didnt took out cpu from slit. Maybe I put the radiator to tight? or what can be? need some help. Thank you

Maybe I put the radiator to tight?

Maybe, because Intel Skylake CPUs are bending under the pressure of some coolers http://www.pcgamer.com/intel-skylake-cpus-are-bending-under-the-pressure-of-some-coolers/

Or maybe the case has problem, like the electric short circuit.

I will check the radiator and for bend pins, how ca I check for any short circuit with the case?

Set up the PC outside the case, if it runs fine, you know there is the short circuit.
