It stayed up without a black screen and reboot for a couple of days but I have noticed it has now rebooted again a couple of time over the last few hours. I used Memtest 86 and each stick passes by itself but when I put them both in (any slot,) it does not finish the test but reboots after a few seconds. Any ideas where to go now? Thanks rock
From: Russ SBITS.Biz [SBS-MVP] on 19 Feb 2010 19:18 It sounds like the 2nd slot may be bad. (IE cold Solder Joint) Do you have another stick to try?

This is the only mobo I have that takes this new type of Ram as well. Is there another reason for me to buy another? I am not sure whether I mentioned it but I have an Asus P5Q3 mobo with the 2GB a stick RAM and 650W power. This mobo also has the 3rd Sata plug on the mobo is somehow blocked and I can't use it as the plug will not click in enough, so maybe it is time that I did a return? Thanks for the time rock
From: Russ SBITS.Biz [SBS-MVP] on 19 Feb 2010 22:17 Well I was thinking of Troubleshooting Since they both work in slot one, and it's only when you put in the 2nd slot it fails (Meaning I think Slot 2 may be bad.) I was thinking if you had one more you could absolutely be sure it's the slot. Any chance this board is on Warranty?
