Overheard a guy at the parts counter say he fixed a weird boot loop by swapping the RAM sticks into different slots.
He was picking up a new power supply, but he said the real fix was just moving the sticks around. I always check seating first, but I guess I never thought to try different slots if they're already in. Has anyone else run into that? Seems like a weird motherboard quirk.

Wait, he bought a new power supply for nothing? That's the wild part to me. I've seen slot issues cause memory training to fail, but swapping parts first is an expensive way to troubleshoot.

Seriously, that's just how some people learn to fix stuff.
