Hello I was trying to overclock Q9650 on Asus Striker Extreme. When I hit about 10% increased speed PC wont boot anymore. Then i heard one long beep which means memory is bad. I did basic trick, swap memory in slots, one by one. After all this I realised that TWO RAM slots which are NEAREST to CPU socket just DIED. I also tried different RAMs, clearing CMOS battery. Nothing helped. If anyone can help I would be happy. Thanks.

I tried what you mentioned there, It didnt work. Mobo is Asus Striker Extreme BIOS is latest avaible, model of RAMs are Kingston KHX6400D2K2/4GB and ADATA AXU800PB2G4-2P. FSB of CPU is set to 1333 and RAM 800 thats all I could find in BIOS. I had to search it under manual OC settings. Also i forgot to mention that RAMs were working correctly until OC.
