So, my new build wouldnt post or beep so I went through the awesome no post trobleshooting checklist that's around here and I confirmed that my ram is the issue. If I power on the system without the ram I get the 'no ram' long beeps, and when I put it on I get silence, and no post.
I got a few sticks from a friend and when I put them in it works perfectly, so I'm absolutely sure that my stick is the issue here.
My question is: can I reliably confirm that my ram is dead, or is there any bios configuration I can try to make it work?
The latter seems weird, since I'd have to power it with my friend's ram on to get to the bios, then turn it off and put my stick in to try that.
