Pc only works when having 1 ram stick in 3th slot! what to do next?

[MaximusOwner]

Hello,

Today i cleaned my pc and connected everything back, when i tryed to boot the pc, all the lights where burning, fans where moving ect, just liked it used to before. only thing i did was getting my graphics card out and back in after i cleaned it.
I'm sure nothing died as i had this problem before when building my pc. i had to do some weird resetting (not like changing the jumper ect but a couple of things like moving jumper then holding the power button for 10 sec ect)

My pc:

I7 2600k, maximus iv extreme, 16gb corsair vengeance and GTX680 twin frozr.

Does someone maby know the answer or the resetting that i forgot?

if you need more information please ask!

EDIT: pc only works when having 1 ram stick in the 3th slot! but i don't know what to do next!

i rememberd it: it was bios battery out, pressing the start button for around 10/15 seconds then battery in again and it worked but now it doesnt, the pc only works when having 1 ram stick in the 3th slot.. but i don't know what to do next as the pc still gives a 3B code when putting the 3 other ram sticks in it..

try one and one ram and run memtest on each to see if theres enny thing wrong whit em.

i found the memok, and it started flashing ect but it didnt do anything.. (with all 4 ram sticks installed)

try and reboot ( if you dident already do so ) and read in the manual when doing the memok button.

Reseat your CPU.

The cooler is to tight or has shifted and now the pins are not lining up on the CPU pads.
