First off I will state that I am a total noob. This was my first build and things went great for the first month or so. Then, all the sudden, I when I turnded it off it would take a few tries to get it back on. I read up on it and uploaded the newest bios. Restarted it just fine. Then turned it off and then....nothing.
After some advice I took it out of the case and stripped all the bits down and narrowed it down to the ram. This is where I am getting confused though. The ram I have is Corsair xms 3200pt 2GB. They are a matched set but I can't boot up with them both in my board. I have tried both separately to see if it was one of the sticks and they worked fine.
I think I have them in the right slots A1 and B1. And these are the slots I had them in before. I am using the latest BIOS so I am not sure where to go from here. Any ideas!?!?!?!?
