After thinking more about it, it's entirely possible it could have Ben installed backwards. Causing 1 side to be raised from the socket causing an Arc, then that Arc causing 1 of the chips to burn out?

Essentially not being all the way in.

Stop building your own computers right now, buy them ready made and have other certified people upgrading them, you're obviously not meant to touch any kind of hardware outside of input devices.

I love you for being blunt as possible. But I'm gonna play the "glass is half empty" game and say, people like him keep us repair guys in business lol. But they also ruin RMA's for legit people like us :(.

Even better: The OP should just buy a Mac.

Exactly. This is why apple exists. Too many people don't know what the hell they are doing or don't use common sense.

I don't know if this has been said yet, but... you can't install RAM backwards. There's like... little tabs or something that will not allow that.

Are you 100% sure it's the RAM? Sniff your PSU and check the MB.

I agree with him and the other 98230598 people. Also you bought ****ty ass parts so that could be it too. BIOSTAR? Really. Oh but for you its ok since you don't know how to properly build a god damn computer.

Whats it to you?

You're asking us for advice.... If you weren't asking for advice, your stupidity wouldn't matter.

Sure you didn't install it upside down? Trololololol. :shifty: :rofl:

LMFAO..

its funny how so many of us have said that he can't install RAM backwards but he still won't believe us, why ask for advice in the first place then... BTW i repair computers for a living....

pics or it didn't happen ha :D

Exactly.... I love people like him. "My power supply didn't take out my system just give me another power supply i know it'll work perfectly fine even after you tested my hard drive and its clicking. and caps on your mobo are bad."

you are the reason companies are difficult to deal with RMAs, your the reason prices go up, your the reason companies quit offering great RMA service because so many who break their own stuff or abuse their products (ln2 cooling, 2v to the cpu, coating with nail polish). Thats what it is to me.

Ive seen it before, it was probably "installed" backwards and by that, it wasnt flush in the socket, user thought it was in and turned on system. Seen it before.

THANK You. People like him...

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
