I have just purchased an Gigabyte DS3P, when Ive attempted to install the RAM into the new motherboard, I found that RAM in the Third and Fourth Ports on the motherboard the PC will start up but on the entry to BIOS the PC fails and Restarts. There is also no display on the screen as it boots up.

Ive have tried all four various RAM sticks in the first two ports and nothing seems to change. So I've ruled out that any of the RAM sticks are the problem, and this is a newly pruchased motherboard because this problem occoured on the previous motherboard exept instead of restarting it just didnt post. I dont know what the problem could be, is there any advice?
 
Would updating my BIOS and / or Chipset drivers make the two other slots work? If not, any more ideas?

Ive made a little Paint to show it better. Just for anyone new, its a brand new motherboard.

Well ive tried ever possiblity with the ram slots, I dont just put them all in.

It dosent work in any other slots than 1 and 2. Dosent with 1 and 3 or 4. Just in 3 or 4. Only 1 and 2.

As for the voltage, ive just set it to "auto" as it was on manual before.
 
I dont think the motherboard can be faulty. As I just bought it to replace my old one (DS3). Which was doing the same as this, memory not working in all slots. But obvisouly it still hasnt worked.

I cant belive that both the motherboards would have the exact same fault.

Is it possible that my old hard drive may have information stored on XP? (took it from my old system when installing vista on a fresh HDD) And is possible giving conflicts?

Is there some sort of motherboard testing tool? So I can see if there working?
 
Yes I tried upping the volts (if you mean the DDR2 voltages or something) I upped it by, +0.20, still no effect. Then I just started going mental, changed all the clocks and still nothing. Im really confused...How could something like this not be fixed?

I think ill have to take it to my local PC shop and tell them to get it sorted.

Or i may just get 2x2GB sticks :(. Waste of money

Also would refomating make a differance or does it seem more to do with hardware then software?
