Upgraded my gpu today and once i had it installed, the dram light lit up. Checked the forum and did the following.

1. Reset the cmos battery.
2. Resit the ram.
3. Remove the new gpu.
4. Also tried with my old gpu and onboard graphics still no go.

Tested the ram next
1. Slot 1&3 didnt work
2. Slot 2&4 didnt work
3. Slot 1 worked for both rams
4. Slot 2 worked for both ramas
5. Slot 3 did not work for both rams.
6. Slot 4 did not work for both rams.

At this point i was convinced slot 3&4 was busted leaving me with no dual channel.

The next one hour i spent on just trying all kind of ram combinations but randomly slot 2&4 worked again(which was my original configuration)

Pc is back up and running but im confused? What went wrong? Is my mobo faulty or i messed something up?

you might want to clean your ram golden contacts with eraser. or it could be intermittent that its going to fail soon..

Looks like a bad motherboard trace or pending MB failure.

What cpu are you using?

Try resit the cpu and the cooler. Do not over tighten your cpu cooler.

Parts im currently using are listed on the right.

Not touching the ram module cause its seems fine now. Touch wood.

Everything good till an hour into Anthemn and pc crashed. Now the gpu led is on. Switching back to my old gtx 970 fixes the problem. Guess the new gpu is faulty too? Bringing to rma on Monday.
