In the BIOS, set the memory frequency to be equal to the FSB - 133MHz. Try loosening memory timings and/or increasing DDR voltage.

the problem is whenever i put a memory stick in dimm socket 3 the board always fails memory test and all i get is a black screen if i take it back out everything is ok at the momen

Need to say much? RMA/exchange/return/refund this defective mobo.

It is morally wrong to allow suckers to keep their money

I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with 512 MB of Corsair DDR 400. I have the memory in slots 1 and 3. I had the same problem. Make sure you check with your memory manufacturer and manually set the memory timings. This did the trick for me. Good luck. Here is my system:

I have checked my setting for my Corsair memory and I am running the memory at 6-3-3-2. The 2 is the CAS latency. If you know what CAS latency the memory is rated at, run it at that setting. It will most likely be either 2 or 2.5. It may be on the package that the memory came in. Also run the memory in optimal settings. Lastly make sure the memory is in sync with the FSB. Here is my system:
