Hello,
I am currently assembling my PC, I'm at the RAM stage, the sticks won't go in, no matter how hard I push (cracking noise...) the latches won't close...
Can you please help me?
Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 6.0.1

Hello,
Silly question, did you buy the right model of RAM?
(DDR2 / DDR3, ...)
Or check that you are installing them the right way?

Doing research yourself before posting on CCM is the quickest solution!
I’m bad at French, but I own it!

Thank you for your response, I succeeded, I had to push even harder... Now, I'm at the processor (AMD Phenom 2 Black Edition 955), I can't manage to lock both latches at the same time... Any idea?
Okay, it's a large U-shaped rod that attaches to a claw on each exact side?
The technique I use for this kind of assembly:
- we block one of the fixed sides (with a flat screwdriver)
- and with another screwdriver we put the second one in place (it also works with the handle of a small flat spoon)
But just to be sure, otherwise take a photo and upload it so I can see it really well.

It seems that you are having trouble with the fan installation on your processor cooler. The issue you're describing, where one lever engages while the other one lifts, is common. Here are a few suggestions you can try:
1. **Ensure Proper Alignment**: Make sure that the heatsink and fan are aligned properly over the CPU. Sometimes, if it's not seated correctly, it can cause the levers to act improperly.
2. **Check for Obstructions**: Make sure there are no obstructions preventing the latches from engaging. Sometimes thermal paste can spill out and interfere with the mechanism.
3. **Apply Even Pressure**: When securing the fan, apply even pressure on both sides to ensure that both levers can fully engage at the same time.
4. **Inspect the Levers**: Check if the levers are functioning correctly. They should move smoothly and not be stuck in any way.
5. **Manual Override**: Some coolers require you to push one side down and then quickly push the other side down. Try this method to see if it works for you.
6. **Look for Additional Guides**: If applicable, refer to the installation manual for the specific CPU cooler model you are using, as it may offer specific instructions or warnings.
If you continue to face difficulties, consider reaching out to the manufacturer's support or to a technician for further assistance.
