PC wont POST

[markpyrozen]

Motherboard im using is Msi z170 Krait gaming 3x.

My Pc refuses to post when im using all 4 dimm slots, the ez debug led on the motherboard lights up and alternates between the cpu and dram.

I only managed to make it post when using either the 3rd or 4th slots i already updated my bios but same problem. Im using Corsair lpx 2133mhz Ram.

It cant be a spoiled ram as i tested it individually and GPU is not installed as im just trying to get all the ram to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah its a kit ram. Nope I actually used the ram on my B150 bazooka plus board im reusing the ram on the z170 board.. Could it be that the Ram is incompatible?

Could it be that the first 2 dimm slots are dead?? I was hoping it was just a software problem :/

Shouldn't have any issues with 2133MHz rams.
Do a clear CMOS and try again.
If still having issues, feel free to bring the mainboard down for a check.
We will change for you if the ram slots are faulty.

I will check if my hsf are properly installed and check for bent pins and do a clear CMOS. Maybe its just dust ! But I will head down if still not working thank you!

Found the issue.. There are some bent pins on the socket.. Is there any shops that can repair the mobo or do i have to get a new one? Board is not brand new so i probably screwed something up while installing it

You can straighten the pins yourself using a credit card. I've done it before on my MSI Z97-GD65 after dropping a CPU cooler on it. Quite easy.

u can try it yourself but do it with extreme caution

Ive tried, but my poor eye sight along with my clumsy hand makes its very hard. I keep on touching the other good pins so I stopped as Im scared of breaking it further
