So I took my pc apart for it's bi-weekly cleaning and the RAM will not fit in the slots. When I lock it, it's extremely wobbly and falls right out. It seems to not be going in all the way. I am putting it in correctly and have tried all RAM slots and none work (same result.) I sadly can't provide pictures as my phone's camera is broken and my pc isn't on working order. Any suggestions?

Look in the slot and make sure nothing is deformed, broken, or in the way. If you have another slot that were not being used, see if it works.

What's more likely is that you are not pushing hard enough. It takes more pressure than you'd think to get the sticks in the slot. Be careful to only push STRAIGHT DOWN. I push down with both thumbs on both sides of the top of the sticks. Also make sure the latches go into the small notches on the ends of the sticks.

Nevermind, just wasn't applying enough pressure.

I fixed it before reading that, I needed to apply more pressure. Regardless, thank for helping, +Rep for you sir.
