I bought the following components and assembled myself. I did a little bit of auto overclocking with the Asus 4-Way Optimizer. CPU reached 4.6Ghz, but memory topped at 1333 due to back clock settings. Temperatures never got very hot. The computer worked well for two weeks, then got an error in windows which when restarted said it was a memory issue. During that restart, the computer tripped and kept cycling/restarting every 1-7 seconds, without ever showing the BIOS screen. After CMOS clear, can get the computer to start, but DIMM Slot B1 is ABNORMAL and only 24Gb of memory shows. No matter what settings, manual, XMP, or automatic, I cannot get that slot to show. Furthermore, OC tuning now causes the same tripping response and tops out at 4.3Ghz. Asus says I should try cleaning the memory sticks with a clean eraser, to remove oil, and if that doesn't work, send the board back, send the memory back, and then get a new board with compatible memory (my memory is not on the current list, but similar brands/models/sizes are). Should I follow their advice or do something else?
