I've been fighting to get a set of Kingston HyperX PC3500 memory to run in my DFI SLI-DR Expert motherboard lately.
This same memory runs flawlessly in my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, but has given me nothing but fits with my DFI SLI-DR Expert.
I tried running them in the Yellow slots as I had seen suggested in multiple forums (including this one), but that always resulted in a no-POST scenario regardless of timings, frequency, which slot I used, or voltage (I could volt these sticks to the moon and the system wouldn't POST).
With one stick configuration it wouldn't even attempt to load the OS, and in the other it would start to load the OS but ultimately crash the system shortly after starting to load.
It passes Memtest86+ just fine, but results in blue screens and lockups in the OS.
Anyone ever encountered a situation similar to this? Or has anyone ever gotten Kingston HyperX PC3500 BH-5 memory to run in a DFI board?
