Hi everyone, any help would be much appreciated.
In a nut shell:
I have 4 Hyper X fury DDR4 Memory Modules. Each 4GB (Total 16GB).
I built the PC 5-6 years ago, never had any issues until maybe 2-3 years in, my PC started to power up, but the white LED on the power button wouldn't light up, and no signal to the monitors. I would hold the power button to restart, and then power it back up and all was fine. This wouldn't happen every time, but sometimes. (I should've taken that as red and tried to solve it at the time, alas)
Due to being at university at the time, and moving house often now, my PC is carried a round a lot, and takes a few car journeys every year.
Last week I travelled 4 hours, set up my PC, it would power on for maybe 2-3 seconds and then I'd hear an audible 'click' and it would power down, then go on it's own automatic cycle of doing this until I pulled the kettle lead out. I thought it might be tripping some how.
After some trouble-shooting I realised it was the modules or channels, and after trying every configuration I found that:
Having a module in slot 2 alone, worked. 1 alone, worked. 1 and 2 worked. Giving me 8GB.
3 alone, same power cycling issue as above, 4 alone, same issue, 1 and 3, issue, 2 and 4 issue. 1,2 and 3, lasted longer and didn't power down, but no signal?
(Setup on the mother board)
DIMM 1
DIMM 2 - First
DIMM 3
DIMM 4 - First
(Current working 8 GB setup)
DIMM 1 #
DIMM 2 #
DIMM 3
DIMM 4
So conclusion, there's something wrong with the channel for DIMM slots 3 and 4?
One of my friends suggested re seating the CPU, I'm wondering what other people's guesses are?
Thanks in advance.
