So I just bought a new AM3 AMD Phenom II x4 965 black ed with 8 gigs of gskill RAM.
I just went in, set memory settings to auto and noticed my old OCZ stickswere in DRAM_1 and DRAM_3.
I think I remember doing this because I RMA'd the paired pair once and they still would not work, so I just said "oh well. I wanna play games right now".
THIS time, I thought to myself "damn, theres a problem I never resolved..."
I stuck in 2 sticks in 1 and 2 and NO BOOT. dead screen.
3 and 4 NO BOOT. dead screen
1 and 3 BOOTS, posts everything is good.
now im wondering: A) is the memory controller on the CPU?? Its been so long...
B) could it be something else related to the MOBO??
if it is, i would want to buy a new mobo, and UPGRADE FROM SOCKET AM3. In which case I would need to return my brand new CPU.
