Both ram works on slot 2 but when i installed one ram on slot 1 it just wont boot, it did turn on but it doesnt post

I tried cleaning the slots but it doesnt do anything

Is this CPU or Mobo issue?

The motherboard is bad because if you can run it on slot 2 not 1 then there is a problem with it.

i want to test it
can i just put in another CPU into the mobo?

#

i want to borrow my friend CPU

#

@terse linden Not just any other CPU, it has to be the same socket and "generation".

#

Which board is it?

terse linden
#

LGA 1151

#

its the same socket and the same gen "6 gen"

#

mine is i5 6600
i know a friend that have something similar, its an i5 6500

flint spade
#

LGA 1151 was used for more than two generations so it was artificially separated

#

If you have a 6600, any 6000 and 7000 series will work fine (If the BIOS is updated to support 7000 series)

#

what about an i3 6100?

#

would that work to test?

flint spade
#

Sure

terse linden
# flint spade Sure

also just asking, would installing a different CPU to my PC do anything to windows?

@terse linden TPM doesn't matter, it's whether you have Bitlocker or any other encryption

#

ok so i tried it with my friend I3 6100 and my PC just wont boot with it

terse linden
#

also i have a question

terse linden
#

i dont want to take out my CPU rn so ill take an image online

terse linden
#

i found a similar picture, the chip is on the right side
this is not i5 6600 but the chipping is similar

#

it still barely works with both ram stick before
but just yesterday it doesnt

#

i said barely because it sometimes crash before

#

i havent crashed yet since i took a ram from slot 1

terse linden
#

terse linden
#

It just did it again
It turns off and then it turns on
