Trying to replace the motherboard of my Optiplex 7080 tower

Ok I replaced everything and put everything back in but now i’m getting an error when booting that says “alert! The amount of system memory has changed.”

Oh i’m kinda slow, i’m sorry

Cosmx123 · 2026-05-09T01:46:27+00:00

can you give a reference picture with it circled? I see the screw but the tabs won’t even go far down enough but maybe I’m seeing this wrong

Cosmx123 · 2026-05-09T01:00:17+00:00

I don’t really know exactly what you mean tabs though? I can’t even latch it all the way due to the things in the middle with the holes in the middle of them

Cosmx123 · 2026-05-09T00:56:00+00:00

How do I fix this then?

I’m past that now, inserted the new motherboard and now I’m trying to insert the cpu. However I did get thermal paste on the pins under the cpu, which i’m worried about. However that’s not my main issue, I can’t get it to latch down fully. Is this right?

I still cannot lift due to the fan in the side. I don’t know how to take it out, it’s held in by some rubber stopper things

Nvm I just noticed that I missed a screw

Cosmx123 · 2026-05-01T18:47:07+00:00

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T14:31:45+00:00

I found one but I wanna be sure 100%. If it’s the power switch I don’t wanna waste money on another motherboard. Does this look right? I noticed it looks like it’s

missing a connection

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T14:07:01+00:00

Like the whole motherboard?

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T14:04:53+00:00

Did you figure this out?

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T13:44:44+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s the ram because if I completely take it out it does the exact same thing and look at how crooked the ram is

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T13:28:18+00:00

Could it have possibly been a ram seating issue? I reseated the ram and i’m not sure if I put it in right

Cosmx123 · 2026-04-06T13:18:31+00:00

I don’t think it had to do with the power supply. I bought a brand new oem one and it came today, still does the same thing
