Hello. I have this pc for about 2 years now but I decided to upgrade my case.

So I removed all PC parts from my old case and put it on a new one. ( Sticks on A2 and B2 (blues))

When i turned on the pc the DRAM LEd was on. i removed the b2 slot and it started working.

I removed A2 to B2 and put back again to A2. DRAM_LED Showed up so I click on MEMOK and it works fine. But if I have A2 and B2 installed and click MEMOK it keeps turned on and doesnt boot.

What i checked:

I checked the pins on cpu and they are all good.
Temps are amazing ( 24ºC CPU 30 ºC GPU IDLE)
Checked both memory sticks and they work fine but only one each time and on slot A2.
Black slots don't work. Only A2(blue) slot.
Clean CMOS



Now I only have 4 GB of ram installed... What can I DO?

MB: P8Z68-V GEN3
RAM: Corsair Vegeance 2x4GB Blues

PS: They worked well for 2 years.
 
I had a asus board that would only run on one stick and default bios settings but it was new. got 2 different sticks and the same- borrowed some sticks from a buddy and the same thing ... did not matter what ram or slot it was in anything more than one stick and default bios settings it would crash it so I ran it for about a year and replaced the board and it all works fine now . but as long as the asus just had the one stick in it it ran just fine and dandy no issues..

only thing I see is that your board was 2 years old and maybe removing the board damaged it in some way?? these thing can be funny and anything can happen I've moved boards to new cases with out issue but that don't mean the next time I will not also the standoff screws if tightened incorrectly can damage a board and a old board is more brittle than a new one so I don't remove nothing that I don't need to when I remove boards

I jus updated the bios with no sucess

but I will try to RMA it. IT has 3 year warranty. I mount it perfectly but i dont know... it's very strange that only 1 works.

Does anyone have a solution?

And does anyone know the best way and fastest to RMA it to ASUS Czech.

Cuz this ASUS from Portugal are retards that need 2 weeks to reply to e-mails..
When i RMA my GPU i waited 3 weeks just to make them give me the track number to send.But after i send in 5 days i had a new one.
