BillyAZ2001 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello! I think I made a mistake by RMAing some memory and haven't actually shipped it back yet and wanted to see if I could get some input. I had an issue with 1 of my 512MB sticks causing my system to not post. I normally have 3 GB total in the system but for the past month I've been running with just my 2 x 512MB sticks installed. Well now my system will only post with one of the sticks in the system. Swapped around into different slots, nothing. I don't overclock, but I change the timiings back to the board default of 3-3-3-8, with the good stick installed, no change. I'm thinking at this point I have a bad system and to make matters worse, its a dual channel kit and they want me to send both sticks in, crap. Well I just happened to pull a working P4 board out of another system and I attempted to use my memory in this MoBo. To my suprise, both sticks work in any slot and also pass mem test. If I take the memory back to my actual system, the same stick as before will not post in it. If I send these sticks in what happens if you guys think nothing is wrong? I am stuck with no memory then? My 2 x 1GB sticks are being used in another system for a special project, so these 512 sticks are all I have to keep my personal machine up and running :( Case # is Case #881838/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAZ2001 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Part of the problem is that both of those items are expired for me, so I'm kind of up a creek so to speak. Its by far the strangest issue I've seen and have no idea what else to try :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
