I've had my IS-7 for a few weeks now and I've been noticing a few things that don't seem right.
1st. Memory issues: Sockets 1&3 don't detect any memory, single stick or dual stick, but sockets 2&4 work just fine with either single stick or dual stick.
2nd. More memory issues: ANY changes to the memory result in a total boot failure, meaning no video/bios screen/anything. And by ANY I mean ANY. I can't change any cas/ras/pre-charge/etc., and forget about GAT, it doesn't even like me thinking about changing it from Auto. I've never been able to sucessfully get the board to boot after changing memory settings, I've always ended up clearing the CMOS and starting all over.
Memory brand Corsair PC4000 matched 256MB pair. It runs just fine in sockets 2&4, at 250FSB at 2.65V. Bios version is 16, directly from Abit.
Should I RMA it, has anyone else faced a similar issue with this board, or is it the memory?
