Bad ram slots

Hey I just had a quick question about the slots for my ram going bad.

I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and had 4x512 Corsair XMS3200 filling all 4 slots on it.

A bit ago my computer stopped booting, and after a bit of tinkering I pulled some of the RAM out and it started booting up fine. At first I thought perhaps some of the RAM had tweaked out on me, but after a bit more fiddeling around today I think somehow the first two slots are not working anymore.

I'm able to use any combination of the 4 RAM chips and it boots just fine, as long as it's only in slot 3 and 4. As soon as any RAM goes into either of the 1st two slots, no matter if there is RAM in 3 or 4, it will not boot.

Does anyone have advice on what I can do to fix this?

Yes I do, RMA the motherboard. It does sound like a phyiscal motherboard issue and there is nothing you can do to fix that. I guess you could try updating the bios before you get it RMA'd but probrably won't work.
