Hello,
I recently purchased an additional pair of Corsair Vengeance 4GB cards to go along with the two already in place. Problem I am having is that with the two new cards installed, the computer will not post. Initially it gave a 2E code on the diode (Which simply is identified as memory initialization), now however it hangs on the 38 code which is Post-Memory System Agent initialization started. The computer will not power down unless forced to currently, and when it is powered back up with the 4 RAM slots occupied it will turn on, fail to post, shut down and restart, then hang without post.
I have tried these cards in a1/a2 alone and booted, computer worked fine, read as 8GB installed. It seems only when slot b2 is occupied that this happens, but I am not certain now if it is a failed RAM slot or something else.
Edit: RAM product version differs as well. Old RAM is v2.12 and new is 5.21 if this is relevant.
