        If your RAM fails then it generally does so quickly, and also if your RAM fails you probably bought some bargain-bin stuff. As a rule of thumb don’t buy DIMMs from companies which don’t produce their own chips, or are extremely reputable. And with that I don’t mean “you have heard of them”.

    My brother needed more ram for a computer I gave him, so I gave him some more and told him to put it in the extra slot on the board.

    He called me and told me it wasn’t working at all now, so I went over after work.

    I have absolutely no clue how, to all of my knowledge it should have been impossible.

    He had put the ram in backward and managed to get the clips to lock in.

      I managed to plug the 4pin CPU_POWER cable into two corresponding ports. As in 2 pins from one port and two from the other, since they make up an 8pin port.

      Surprisingly it was working but crashing randomly every half an hour.

      These ports are shaped so that this is impossible, but I managed to do it anyway.
