Hello everybody!!
I have been troubleshooting my PC over the last couple of days, you can see what Ive been up to here;
http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1682407#1682407
To sum it up, I have my system up and running. The only problem with the board seems to be that the second yellow slot doesnt work. XP wont boot. But as long as my DIMMS are in the black slots, I wont have a problem. Basically, my board is racist agaisnt yellow slots.
I have just ran Prime95 for 4 hours without a hitch. I plan on running Memtest86+ when i go to bed and leave it running, which should prove that I have no errors. Then i plan on doing a burn in with 3Dmark06 in loop mode while I sleep as well.
If all that goes without a single problem, do you guys still think that I should still RMA the board.
Reason I dont want to is because it would cost me an extra $100, plus another 2 weeks without my long awaited system.
What would you guys do?
