windows xp pc first ram slot not working

[Dibya]

Hi Everyone, I have a trouble .

Two of my Kingston hyperx works perfectly on 2nd ram slot . But if I put any working ram on first ram slot, it gives beep and doesn't boot.

Motherboard : Gigabyte h61m-w

Edit :

I checked processor LGA pins

I checked dim slot pins .

All looks fine to me .

What can be wrong?

I'm sorry, I can't help you. I guess things get old and that's it. In my case there is a slot that seems to fry any RAM card that I put in a very short time. I have recently been forced to change the network card twice as well, because they mysteriously stop working or are not detected. f****** Mysteries of obsolescence these days, maybe.

try a CMOS reset, pull power and pull the CMOS battery for 30+ seconds

It got fixed
