Well i ran memtest on my new cards and it came back fualty on a1 and b1. Switched cards to a2 and b2 and it came back clean. After restarting pc hard froze again on new slots. Im going to test old mem on a2 and see if it still comes back fualty. If not i am going to assume my slot a1 is broken. Or that my cpu or motherboard is fualty. Ill post back after old ram test is complete.

Edit, new ram on restart after hard reset light memok light again.

Tested old ram on A2 no issues found. Looks like me A1 slot is broken. Could that broken slot stilp cause issues when i am not using it. I may return new ram and purchase a new mobo instead, could that my cause of all my issues?

As a last resort i took whole pc apart and began putting parts into motherboard (ouraide of case) one by one. I reset cmos and clock. I started the system bt jumping the power switch without ram hoping to get beep from motherboard stating that there was no ram, but instead was faced with memok light on and no post beeping. I reset and inserted ram and memok light stayed on again. I used memok and after it searched for the configuration the pc started. I reset and inserted gpu and it started again without memok this time. I was unable to get lan working. It shows no devices in network devices and wont connect to the network. I then played bf3 offline for 1-2h with no crash.
So now i have a new problem having no network without the wlan card.

I doubt its the CPU, the CPU failure percentage is very low.

Unless its physically damaged, as long as its not populated it unlikely to cause issues.
Yes faulting RAM / Motherboard us very hard to diagnose, basically everything runs through them.

Some motherboards don't have a built-in speaker, your Asus motherboard doesn't.
As far as I can see they implemented an L.E.D system instead so when you
took out the RAM the memok led light up as expected.

Does the weird adapter show up in the control panel?

Did you have anymore issues, now that you've identified the faulty slot?
Did you get a replacement motherboard?

 

[slinn1992]

The wierd adaptor doesnt show up when its not plugged in. I did not have any crashs while testing with bf3 while adaptor was not plugged in. I am going to send away this motherboard for rma and see if that fixs all the problems if i cannot get lan to work.

 

[YoYo155]

If you're positive (by methodically testing the RAM and RAM-slots) that you have a faulty
slot that is enough in my opinion to RMA the motherboard but that is up to you.



Keep me posted

 

[slinn1992]

If i can get the pc working without needing to send in motherboard that would be my first choice. I am going tobtry reinstalling wlan card and see if bsod occurs using the same test as i did last night. If it does i will purchase i new wlan card if we cannot get lan working.
