Remembering the last time I installed my ram, had been having trouble with
it so I decided to push harder.  It really surprised me when the end clips
snapped into place without being pushed there by me.  Took quite a bit of
pressure to make 'em do that too.  Maybe you need to push harder.
I disclame any blame / credit  for broken mobos, broken DIMMs or skined
fingers.    : )

| Nope. Maybe it just doesnt reliably recognise that ram for some reason.
