i checked a thread by d4rkst4r about this same problem, but his solution hasn't worked for me, and the thread has sort of petered out, so i am posting a new one.
i had a problem a few weeks ago that apparently was due to a failing psu, according to our local techie. My machine wouldn't post. He figured the old psu wasn't providing sufficient voltage. i got a new psu and he got the system stable again, after a fair bit of struggle, he said.
when i first got this system i had a ton of problems with bsods, until i was advised to adjust the back to back cas# delay, and then everything worked fine with that setting at 8. i realized our techie hadn't adjusted that, and so i did, and then i noticed i only had 4gb of ram available.
the moderator in the asus forum for my mobo blamed it on the dimms not being on the official qualified vendor list. the store advised me to check the pins. i opened a trouble ticket with asus, and 16 days later they have still not replied.
i did check the pins, although i don't think our techie moved the cpu when he was fixing my last problem. a good hard look under a magnifying glass didn't reveal any bent pins. all dimms pass memtest86+.
any advice?
