Hey. I tried playing.but no luck, gonna run memtest now
Hey, posting from my laptop, while memtest runs, I realized something.
If i put a stick of RAM in the first black socket alone, it beeps. If i put a stick of RAM in the second black socket, it beeps. If i put 2 sticks of RAM in the first 2 sockets it works. If i put any DUAL channel, black or blue, PC crashes while loading/BSOD.
Here are the pics.
By the way does memtest86 test RAM only? or RAM slots on the motherboard as well?
With memtest you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.
Well from what you post i believe the motherboard is faulty.
But we will know better when you finish with the memtest.
----------------
Just a tip: If is that the case and the motherborad is faulty and you dont want to buy other motherboard then,
When you finish with memtest,
Put 2 sticks of RAM in the first 2 sockets and try to play.
If that works,then you decide what to do.
But again we will know better when you finish with the memtest :)
Do you have any other ram sticks? If you have or if you can find (from a friend maybe) try also with them.

Hey m8, I usually play with the 2 Sticks of Ram in the first 2 slots anyway. There's no other configuration that works!
Anyway, im thinking I should buy a new motherboard, I already spent over $450 dollars on new parts, might as well finish it with a motherboard.
By the way, the first stick of RAM is done, I put it in 2 different slots (cuz i can only put it in 2 slots without the PC beeping), and it came out with no errors.
Im running the second stick now, while im at the office.
Ill try to find, but I dont think ill be able to find DDR3 Ram, if the tests show nothing wrong with the RAM, should i buy new RAM or just a motherboard?
