| 1305765 | 2012-10-09 08:47:00 | Another issue even if the sticks are right way around is that the tightness of the slots can sometimes mean that the centre of the splot has deflected down a bit, so it's seated soundly at either end, and the centre still isn't properly seated. The only solution for this involves getting access to the rear of the mobo to give a good push from that side as well. I think that this is my problem (well at least hoping). I'll try that and see if it works or else I'll go see a computer technician. Hopefully I don't need a new mobo. Thanks everyone for your help! |

| 1305768 | 2012-10-11 05:11:00 | Well I finally got around to pulling the motherboard out and pushing the RAM sticks down from both sides of the board and it's now working perfectly :) I really didn't want to pull out the board since dealing with all the cables inside can be so troublesome. I probably should replace my IDE hard drive with a SATA :lol: Thanks everyone for the help! |

| 1305773 | 2012-10-11 06:03:00 | Years ago I cut up and planed some strips of rimu that could be slid between motherboards and the back mounting plates for use when changing heatsinks/cpu's/ram etc. It means some force can be exerted on the motherboard in situ without causing damage, and saves the inconvenience of removing the motherboard. |
