I recently posted about having some issues with my new mobo here. Quick recap: after purchasing a new chassis I had to change the mobo and ended up with the ASUS. Queue build and startup: cannot get the system to post-boot. Did some troubleshooting and getting the system to boot with just 1 out of 2 RAM. Both memories worked but just 1 at a time and in 1 slot. Bingo: mobo broken. I return it to the retailer and they check it out.

What happens is they find nothing faulty. They get the mobo to work, both RAM sockets work and everything boots. They ask me to bring my RAM to see if they're faulty (purchased them from same retailer and still under warranty). Turns out that none of the memories are faulty either. Both me and retailer techs scratches our heads and I tell them I'm going back home to check for other compatibility-errors.

What happens next is fascinating: everything works. I assemble the computer again and tadaa, not a single problem. Both RAM:s plugged in, works like a charm. This works flawlessly for about a month until today when I try to boot: nothing. I try out a couple of things, just about to remove CMOS when I try removing one of the RAMs again. It works.

Basically I'm back on square one but I really don't feel like returning the mobo again to the retailer for a check since they didn't find anything. Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong?

Thank you in advance
