Ok so I'm aquitas's friend and here's what I just did to his computer. So I tried it with my ram as well and neither of our RAM models are technically supported in the QVL for his motherboard. His is a better match then mine it seems, his version of ram is supported in the D version or something like that I don't really remember. But anyway, from what I can figure, it has to be a motherboard issue. Even though he's RMA'd several, there is no logical explanation for the computer not booting if you have ram in the first or 3rd slots and only booting if you have it in slot 2 or 4. This pretty much HAS to be a motherboard issue in my opinion. But, in the spirit of fiddling, I manual set his ram clock speed up to its rated 1600mhz and changed the northbridge clocks and voltages accordingly. I also manually set the timings to what they are supposed to be so we are going to see if it crashes again. But thought I'd keep you in the loop as to what we were trying. I'm still convinced it's a POS motherboard though
