What the fuck happened? It cant be the ram as they both work on my friends pc. Is it my motherboard? How could the ram ports possibly be damaged? I literally did nothing wrong

Sup Forums is not your personal tech support


sounds like the ram isn't seated correctly & is improperly installed


make sure to build up some nice static electricity by rubbing the ram sticks in quick circles on the carpet

Are you matching the pair properly?
(I don't even know if that's relevant anymore)

>Sup Forums is not your personal tech support

Yea i tried putting in just one stick at a time and still no results. Its really irritating me i was just playing games on it earlier this morning.

And it cant be the ram, they work on other PCs

Did you try swapping slots?

You have to make sure the RAM is compatible you retard

Make sure the ram is in the slot right. Line the slot up and push, you should feel it click. If it's old it will take a fair bit of pressure to get it in place.

Did you try installing gentoo?

Bros i know

The problem is that the motherboard wont detect the ram at all. Not even other ram.

What's the processor? Are you sure the RAM is the right type for the CPU?

Yes its the ram ive been using since ive made this pc. Theyre compatible.

Could ram swapping somehow change the rams compatsbilty?
It sounds absurd but its the only thing i can think of right now that would make sense

Lol yeah do this

I had an old laptop with a similar issue and this worked

hello /o/

Its an asus mobo

I made a recording of the beeps

Dead motherboard or dead memory controller on CPU (yes it can happen phenom ii x4 were plagued with that issue). Try clearing the CMOS

Try what said and see where that gets you.

I just did that right now. Still beeping.

Damn... Thats the cpu im using...

What could have done this? I was playing games this morning

Shit. How many RAM slots do you have? That slot may have just died somewhere in between the swap and reinstall.

I tried them all.

All 4.

I dont know how to feel.
I feel a sudden loss. An emptiness. A vacuous nothingness that stemmed from the abrupt death of my motherboard. An acquaintance gone. An alliance gone. Nothing is left but the fragments of a once prosperous empire. Now nothing but a weathered rock upon the searing sands of the desert. No more light seeping through the skies. Just a gunmetal grey heaviness of torrential pain and suffering for eternity.

Fuck you Tom for bringing your computer.

Not shutting off your power supply before unplugging your RAM

My pc is so broken I have to pull out my ram and put it back in wverytime I want to turn it on.

It's a security feature!

I'm always surprised when people say shit like "It was working just a few hours ago!" Yes, that's how causality works. First it works, then it breaks.

Damn is this true?

I do this all the time

Point is i didnt really do anything to break the CPU.

if you didn't do anything to break it it wouldn't be broken

Wear and tear dude
