" rel="nofollow - I had recently gotten the hyper 212 evo. Before installing it, i decided to move the ram to the right to reduce the chance of the heatsink being blocked by the ram. Once I did that, I installed the heatsink, and turned the pc on, and got 3 long beeps, which apparently meant there is no memory. How would I fix this?

Reseat the memory modules, and clear the CMOS. A2 and B2 is where the memory should have been. Ensure that you pill the power cord before doing this.
