2 of 3 DIMMS not working on BH6

Help!
I just added a new 128MB-PC133 from Crucial to my 64MB-PC100 already in place. Whatever is in slots 2 or 3 are not detected! Whatever I put in slot one works fine. If I put both in 2 and 3 - it just beeps (no boot).
I've blown out the slots and put together system outside of case (to eliminate possible grounding) - no help.
Any tips or BIOS settings?

I have:
ABIT BH6
300Mhz Celeron at 450Mhz (doesn't work at default either)

Sound Blaster
Winmodem
Maxigamer-Phoenix (voodoo banshee)
2 Hard drives
CD-RW and CD
 
Hmm..

Have you tried putting the pc133 in bank one, then the others in bank 2,3?

Also..if you are overclocking, lower your clock speeds. When I put a pc133 128mb with 2 64pc100s, I would only detect 192megs..leaving a 64mb module out of the picture. But I realized that it was due to overclocking stuff.. I had my 650e at 865.. lowering it down to 805 solved the problem. Also one more thing. Is the Cas/ras speeds in bios. Set em at default and/or leave everything at 3-3-3. And try SPD. I also messed with this and at higher speeds, it would only detect my 128 stick, and not the 2 other 64 modules.

Your problem is due to a bios setting. Clock speed and/or memory timings.

hmm.. i would also suspect that you got a faulty board/ faulty memory. make sure you seated the memory chips properly though.
 
Thanks All.

I reseated DIMMs several times, and moved them in every possible configuration. I'll try the memory speed again it was no help the first time (running at 100mhz - DIMMs rated at 100 and 133). Both DIMMs work - just in slot one. Looks like a need a new board. NUTS!
