First PC build help

Works fine with A2 removed.
Progress.

You will need to alternate sticks - to check for dodgy stick.

Also, look in slot A2 and check that it's clear/clean. Do the same with the stick of memory - check connections.

You could also try fitting and refitting the memory into A2 as it may be having problems connecting

If this still doesn't work, jump into the BIOS and quickly look at your temps. Then i would try a CMOS reset and retry the stick.
 
There is another thing to look for but @tamzzy will have to cover his eyes and stick his fingers in his ears and start singing lah, lah, lah, lah...
 
*I would steralise it first as it still has most of my DNA soaked in it (blood - i mean blood).
oh yes, i remember the good old TR SA. horror stories lol

It’s genuinely a superb cooler, I personally wouldn’t have recommended it for a newbie, but sometimes jumping in the deep end is the best way forward :D
short term gain for long term gain :P

If it’s any consolation, it’s not the worst situation; try fitting a cpu block, gpu block, 360 rad, 240 rad, reservoir, pump, drain, five disks and three PCI-E cards into a Meshify C. Every time I have to change something a wave of depression washes over me :D
i know that feeling lol.
did a 7990 quadfire build in an mATx case with a custom loop :D
 
After checking memory sticks/slots etc....

When you fitted the motherboard were you sure that you used all available standoffs to screw the motherboard down securely? (how many screws did you use)

Think of the above as too few would be a factor if there's signs of the following:

Look around the CPU slot and memory and look for any visible signs of warping/slight bowing in the motherboard - let us know if see an visible signs.
 
Boots fine with the other stick in A2 so does not appear ram related. I was kind of hoping it was to be honest as the idea of replacing one stick of ram is much more appealing than the mobo.

I cant see any warping / bowing on the motherboard. I used all standoffs, I believe there were 8 screws in total.

Temps are mid 20s.

Will try A1/B1 and report back.
 
Try abusing the A2 slot too - inserting and removing the stick a few times. Sometimes the slot needs a bit of convincing what it was designed for.
