Hi all, for some reason I can't get my two sticks of OCZ Special Ops 6400 to run in slots 1 or 2 of my Gigabyte DS3 (Rev 3.3). It runs fine in 3+4 but in 1 or 2 about 5 seconds after hitting the power button, it just restarts and this just loops.

It runs fine in 3+4, but it seems a bit silly to be running single channel when dual channel should be possible with this mobo. Any ideas anyone?

I have tried removing the hardware and placing it on a static proof bag and booting outside the case, but nothing.
 
Sorry forgot to mention. This board was working fine with those slots yesterday... Nothing has really been done to it. Best to RMA? As that's gonna be a pain...
 
If it's only just started happening then you may as well wait a couple of days to see if it goes away. These things can have a habit of fixing themselves for no reason.

Have you any more memory you can use to test the slots?

But if it doesn't get better then you'll have to return the board.
 
Ok dude cheers.

I do have some other memory, but it's some Flex so typically its whopping heatsinks won't fit under the large CPU tower I got on there.

Eidt: And now its working... go figure. I hate PCs sometimes. Cheers for the help dude.
