hello-
this is my second board with my new build. I purchased this board off new egg and came in the mail today. anyway, it exhibited the same issues the first board had. if you put a ram stick in the DDR3-1 slot or the DDR3-3 slot it won't start up; only cycle on and off at pretty consistant intervals. if I move the same two sticks of ram to the DDR3-2 or DDR3-4 slot the computer will give one beep and start to load the bios settings. if you insert a ram stick back into the 1 or 3 slot, the computer will just cycle on/off all day.
I can load windows 7 if I put ram in the 2 or 4 DDR slots, but is that acceptable or shoud the DDR 1 and 3 be working prior to bios update etc?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I really don't want to RMA this board too..ugh...some stats of the current build below:
