I took out my pc apart to do some cleaning yesterday, however today when I put everything back inside the case my motherboard doesn't post with 2 sticks of ram.

PC:
Q9650
Gigabyte P45 UD3P Rev1.1
Mushkin Ascent DDR2-1066 ram

No parts were added to the existing pc, after a few hours troubleshooting I can say both ram sticks are in working conditions. I can't boot with ram sticks in DIMM slot 3 and 4, haven't tried DIMM slot 2, but right now using it on DIMM slot 1 for operation.

I did tried clear CMOS, tweaking the BIOS setting for the ram. Any help will be greatly appreciate, thanks for reading.

Aren't you supposed to be using Dimm1 and Dimm3 together? Been quite some time that I've played around with a S775 system but I'm thinking it's the way it was.

Yes, I had it at DIMM slot 1 & 3 before the cleaning it boot fine. A week past I got the RMA ram, but still no go the same problem. Only can boot from DIMM slot 1 or 2 with 1 stick, slot 3 & 4 no go.
