thanks for the help guys. after hrs of testing and alot of swap in and out i finally found what the problem was. it happened to be the motherboard, the first set(blues one close to cpu) of tri-channel DIMM slots are no good. now im gonna have to request a RMA. sigh but atleast i know which one to return for replacement, cos all of these parts are new purchases. ok take care guys.
