I currently have an ASUS A8N SLI deluxe. Recently I've been getting more crashes to desktop and BSOD with page faults. So I decided to to a memtest. On the 3rd pass the PC reboots and this time the bios thinks it's doing a restore. Try and reset and this time the message is totally garbled.
So I reset the CMOS to see if that helps, no. I try the BIOS restore from CD. It attempts but the screen is still corrupt.
So I try and re seat the memory which is twin 512 MB geil value sticks. This provokes a different response but still not fixed. So I try just a single and everything is back in business. So I memtest each module seperately and each is fine. It's only when I try and run dual DIMMs. So I'd say the MB is shot or does anyone else have any ideas?
This has been on stock since I had it but this is the 3rd board I've had as the others have all had failures of some sort or another.
Pretty much lost faith in the board so what would other people recommend?
As this is still under a year old can I just ask to swap the board for a different type?
Thanks,
Anthony
