Good evening all.
I have an ASUS Z87-Pro that has been in my rig for the better part of a year now.
Originally I had purchased 2 8G sticks of GSKILL PC3 19200 DDR3-2400 when I assembled the computer. During installation I found that having both sticks of RAM in the machine resulted in a 03 Error Code and either a black screen or what appeared to be a short where the computer would lose power before POST and restart, with the whole issue looping over and over.
I chalked it up to the second stick of RAM just being bad (mistake) and continued to run with just 1 8G module since I needed the machine without any downtime for an RMA.
Imagine my surprise today when I go to add two additional sticks of the same type of RAM (exact same unit) and the issues repeats itself.
I'm wondering if there is a simple BIOS configuration issue that I am missing (currently have the most up to date BIOS installed) or if this is an issue indicative of a faulty motherboard and I've shot myself in the foot by not recognizing the issue nine months ago and RMA'ing the board.
