I don't understand...

[Tute]

Hi all, puzzling one.

All of a sudden, my board refuses to boot with both RAM slots filled. If I use one stick, in either slot, it boots fine. Doesn't matter what stick.

It's worked fine for months with both sticks, now all of a sudden it won't - but both sticks work independantly and so do both RAM slots, so RMA isn't an option.

Any suggestions?

[Edit] The board is an Intel DH57JG, the RAM is 2x4GB G.Skill 10666CL9D-8GBRL (Red Ripjaws).

The board sounds like it's broken and doesn't allow both slots to be used at once.

Have you checked the memory settings in the BIOS - try resetting the CMOS and re-entering your memory timings, frequency and voltage (save and exit).

Have you ran memtest? If not i would test each stick as one may have become corrupt - but it may be that there's a problem with you MB/DIMM slot or other...
