Right before i start here are my specs:

-E2140
-P35C-DS3R
-4x 1GB Ballistix pc5300
-hiper psu

Right, well im on my third DS3R and i cant boot up with the ram in slots 3 and 4. I have tried slackening the timings, lower fsb and raising the vdimm-even flashed the BIOS.
The pc boots fine with ram in slots 1 and 2 as well. I ran memtest on the ram and no errors came up, so whats causing the problems?
Oh and all the DS3R's i have had have all been different revisions.
 
I have heard of memory issues with this board, athough I've never heard of one quite like yours. Apparently some DS3R's overvolt that RAM by +0.1V, so at stock voltage settings it actually runs the RAM at 1.9v.

I mean I'm sure tha Ballistix stuff is meant to run at about 2.1V anyway, bt I don't know, it could be something contributing to your problems
