Hit memory with a hammer!

[olrac]

I have a DFI AK 70 Slot a board. Almost every day I have reinstall the memory. It takes about 10 installations of practically hammering them in. The tabs snap shut and all but half the time they still don't make contact. Its not any particular module, its the mobo thats so damn tight. I'm getting sick and tired of opening my case every day to reinstall them. Its like they loosen themselves everyday on their own. Any harder pushing them in and I'll probably break them or the board! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do if anything?

Sounds like you need a bigger hammer.

O-level calibration fixes 90% of the problems, before they occur......

Actually it was a compatability issue. I have 2 memory sticks from spectrum and 1 from viking. As soon as I removed the viking memory, the other 2 work in any slot. They are all the same as far as specs go(voltage, 100 mhz, gold contacts etc..) but for some reason the board does not like all three together. Oh, well, I guess I could live with the two 128 sticks for now and leave out the 64.

Yeah, mix and match doesn't always work.....

That's the only good thing about paying a little more for the 'name' brands.
