Why is my RAM a bit wiggly after installation?
Asked by

I'm building my very first PC, and I've just finished installing the RAM. However, the RAM sticks seem a little wiggly to me. Is this normal? Any tips or explanations would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if my English isn't perfect.

When you install RAM, you should hear a click from both sides as they lock into place. Sometimes, it takes a surprising amount of force to get them properly seated, so don't be afraid to push down firmly!

Is your PC powering on and recognizing all the RAM in the system info? If you're only running the CPU and RAM right now, check to see if everything looks fine in the BIOS. It’s good to know if the system acknowledges the RAM!
