Seller - are you within 28 days(?) - if so it will be a very simple process.
But, abuse that A2 socket first - i've had boards before like this that turned out to be fine (long term fine - not just get working for now fine)

It should be a straight swap out then.
Just reinserting a few times - exactly what you've been doing. You could try with the other stick too - reinserting - as not all things are made equal.What do you mean by abuse exactly?I checked it's clear and not damaged and put the stick in a number of times now.
But, if it hasn't automagically sprung to life now it's not looking great for that slot...
It will be good if we can determine that both sticks are clear in slot B2 as we can then concentrate isolating A2 as the culprit. This will be when you test A1,1B1 - because if they pass then we can (almost) rule out the cooler as an indirect cause of slot failure.
Although, belt and braces would perhaps require a reseating. I can hear you shout for joy from here.
I know - but if the board has slight warping it will find the path of least resistance - which maybe around that slot (probably not, but we need to rule it out.).
You wont need to reapply thermal paste for a reseat, or completely remove the cooler - it will be a very simple process.
no.
as a rule of thumb, i'd run it to 400%.
reason is, if each run is only 90% effective at finding an error, then 4 error-free runs has a probability of 1:10,000 of missing an error.
Yes, missed that.
Be glad you're not running memtest86...
...or not depending on preference.
/completely off topic - but @Colin_M will forgive us.
But again all foreplay and no money shot - where's the completed build?
Very tidy build and great temps for setup. Really like the exposed copper - big fan of fully exposed copper blocks.

The master of the tantric build log.
But even Sting must eventually *cough*satisfy*cough* otherwise Trudie would have left him, with half his fortune, years ago...
...unless they're still going?!
@Colin_M - are you practising tantric memory testing - or is that stick still teasing? (ok, giving up on this laboured metaphor now - if the words stick and inserting start to crop up it could get awkward.)
Yeah also crashed on the blue screen with memory errors again. Swapped sticks back for piece of mind and running memtest again with no errors does appear to be an issue with that one stick.
I will get onto them and return the set for a replacement.

At least it will be relatively quick and painless. It's possible you could be up and running by Wednesday. Or, Tuesday depending on retailer.
