ok so i bought all the parts i need for a new system, psu, cpu, vid card, mobo, ram, etc. the works. well this damn mobo wont run my RAM in dual channel mode! the RAM is Corsair Value Select 2x512. i have flashed the bios to the most current version and all that, even tried upping the DIMM voltage to 2.8v per DFI's website's instructions. no go. tested each stick in the bios' memtest86 and they appear to be just fine according to the results! (no errors in 1 pass, same timings for each stick..)
i have a 420w enermax noistaker psu, and the DFI Ultra-D (duh) mobo
now im running it in single channel mode and my system will run fine but i bought a dual channel kit to run dual channel dammit. my system wont even get a signal to the monitor if i put any ram in either slots 3 & 4 (i.e. RAM combos (1 & 3), (2 & 4), (just 3), (just 4)). but the friggin memtest goes fine, is my mobo to blame?
i already have to RMA the stupid SATA drive i got which was d.o.a. i need to know if i should also RMA the memory and/or mobo. this friggin sucks. can anyone help?
